This song is awesome
First recorded by Bonnie Raitt in 1991 It's been released commercially by another 38 artists. That's nearly 1.5 times a year since its release!
I don't really have the range needed to pull this song off live, it's a big song but I gave it my all here. I reckon I could take it on with multiple takes in the studio though!
Lyrics
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
As always, thanks for checking out my post.

I actually know Bonnie Raitt. We lived in the same town (Mendocino, California)and she has got on stage with my band before. We played her hit, Love Letter which was written by Bonnie Hayes, while she sang it. It was awesome.
I've also played with her brother David Raitt.
The song I Can't Make You Love Me is written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and is such a beautiful song.
You do it justice.

That's awesome @luzcypher, I gather from a few bits I've read that you were very involved In the music industry for a time.
Great to hear stories like this, was it impromptu?
Thank you, I'm thinking I might re-record it as I'm finding it difficult to listen back to.

I don't know this song...then again I almost never know any of the songs u sing....so I didn't find any fault in it. Or should I say I don't feel like you "couldn't pull it off"!
