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.
Love this song. I first heard it when i was in college, sung by Bonnie Raitt. George Michael sing this song in his album as well after 10 years and but i still prefer Bonnie Raitt rendition. Full of emotion and sadness.

yup, i love the song too. my most vivid memory of it was sitting in a cab from changi airport, the cabbie turn on class 95fm, and the song was playing on the radio. I was feeling rather melancholic at that time and was staring out of the taxi window looking at planes taking off and landing...so the song was kinda fitting at that point in time...
