Help Me Make It Through The Night

SPOKEN:



I'm imagining alot of..happy people.

And most of you are with someone you love.

Well you..are....the lucky ones.

All over the world there are lots of people who are alone tonight.

I imagine most of us have been in that situation,

at one time or another.

I know I have.

Recently I heard a most beautiful song, with a...dynamic lyric

that really expresses this feeling of loneliness.

It means alot to me personally.

And i'd like to share it with you.



I think you'll see what i mean.



Take the ribbon from my hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Layin' soft against your skin

Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side

'til 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 wont try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

For tonight I need a friend



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's so sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night



(mmm's in the same tune as opening line)



Lord it's so sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night (oo-hoo)

Lead me through the night(oo-hoo)

Come on and take me through the night(oo-hoo)



THROUUGHHH.....THHEEEE......NI-HIIIIGHT
