"I Want To Make You Love Me" lyrics
"I Want To Make You Love Me"
Friendly stranger
Look what you do to me
Smiling faces
And I melt inside
Singing praises of your company
I want to lay me down
Stay all through the night
You are too good to be
Wholly and totally mine
You are too good to be
Slipping away like wine
And I'm waiting, praying
Skating on the edge of the line
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
I want to make you love me
And I want to make you smile
And I want to be your family
For just a little while
I get frightened by the thunder
And the lightning roars
Like a bullet in the pourin rain
I get heightened
By your wondering arms
Lay me down-
Do it all over again
You are too good to be
Wholly and totally mine
You are slipping away
And I'm making you stay
And I'm waiting for the sun to shine
I go rolling down the incline
Holding on a lifeline
Stopping on the edge of a dime
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

That's got his own

And ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere

Leon Russell - "A Song For You" I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my love on stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this...
Suzanne Vega - "Gypsy" You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffee shops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each...
