Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is a renowned American blues singer-songwriter and slide guitar player. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of acclaimed roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country, but she is perhaps best known for her more commercially accessible recordings in the 1990s including "Nick of Time", "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the slow ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me".

You took a part of me that I really miss
I keep askin' myself how long can it go on like this
You told yourself a lie, that's alright, I told myself one too
Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

You took the silver and you took the gold
You left me standin' out in the cold
People ask about you, I didn't tell 'em everything I knew
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep
Throwin' out my memories in a ditch so deep
I did so many things I never did intend to do
And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Well, I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I feel like talkin' to somebody but I just don't know who
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Rock me, pretty baby, rock me all at once
Rock me for a little while and rock me for a couple a months
You know honey I'll rock you too
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Well, there's voices in the night tryin' to be heard
I'm sittin' here listening to every mind-pollutin' word
And I know, I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
Yes, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles
Yes, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
