Help Me Make It Through the Night

(Kris Kristofferson)



Take the ribbon from my hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Laying soft against your 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

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

But tonight I need a friend.



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night, mhm, mhm.



--- Instrumental ---



And it's sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night.



Oh, I don't want to be alone

Help me make it through the night...
