Help Me Make It Through the Night

(Kris Kristofferson)



Take the ribbons from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against my skin

Like the shadows on the wall.



Come and lay down by my side

Till the early morning light

All I'm taking is your time

Help me make it through the night.



I don't care what's right or wrong

Now I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend.



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

I don't want to be alone

Help me make it through the night.



--- Instrumental ---



Lord, it's sad to be alone

Please help me make it through the night

No, I don't want to be alone

Please help me make it through the night...
