Well I can't make you love me, but I'll try

Oh the lord knows how hard I'll try

I can't make you need me, but I'll try

Oh the lord knows how hard I'll try.

But when the su-u-u-un starts to set

And when the ski-i-i-ies take your breath

And I need to sense you, right there

You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye.

Well I can't make you love me, but I'll try

Until my dying breath, you know I'll try

I can't make you feel it, if it's not there

Only the lord knows why it's not there.

But when the su-u-u-un starts to set

And when the ski-i-i-ies take your breath

And I need to sense you, right there

You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye.

I can't make you love me, yeah

I can't make you love me

(I can't make you love me)

But when the su-u-u-un starts to set

And when the ski-i-i-ies take your breath

And I need to sense you, right there

You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye

(You just wave goodbye)
