Can't Make You Love Me
By Laura Adkins

I can shout my soul from the mountaintop
and hope that you will hear.
I can raise my hands in hopeful prayer
that God will keep you near.
I can keep your image in my dreams
where none save me can see....
I can love you with all of my heart,
But I can't make you love me.
