[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But when the sun starts to set
And when the skies take your breath
And I need to sense you right there
You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But when the sun starts to set
And when the skies take your breath
And I need to sense you right there
You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye

[Bridge]
I can't make you love me, yeah
I can't make you love me
(I can't make you love me)
[Chorus]
But when the sun starts to set
And when the skies take your breath
And I need to sense you right there
You just wave goodbye, wave goodbye
(You just wave goodbye)
