I  CAN (COULD) MAKE YOU LOVE ME

(Bob Russell / Peter DeRose)

As released by Sarah Vaughan 1950 < Sarah Vaughan 1944 to 1950 >

I can make you love me,
If you let me, you'll never resist.
I can make you happy
That you bet me the heaven we've missed.

Deep in your eyes, I can see skies
No one has dared explore.
You'll find that I'm the one you've waited for
Do you know?

The lovely kind of heaven, the heaven we've missed,
You could be the inspiration for.
Darling, with me you'll get more out of a sigh,
I can make you love me, let me try.

Darling, with me you'll get more out of a sigh,
I can make you love me, let me try.

(bridge)

Darling, with me you'll get more out of a sigh,
I can make you love me, let me try.
