(words & music by kris kristofferson)
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose, let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadow 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
‘cause 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
I don’t care what’s right or wrong
I won’t try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
‘cause 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
I don’t want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I got a letter in the mail today
She said she loves me more than words can say
But I feel I’m slipping back
To a loss of heart attack
Refrain:
Help me feel it, help me feel it,
Help me feel it,
Help me Make it through the Night
Alot of people do not trust me mind
Their confrontations are not always kind
But the truth must be exposed
Like a garden has to grow
Refrain:
Now to commitment my bright red hat I toff
If I broke it, it would turn you off
But since I can’t have you
Don’t matter what I do
Refrain:
Now if I want to, I can change my script
I think my spirit’s speaking from the crypt
But the gypsy says I’ll find
Some real peace of mind
Refrain:
Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin’ soft upon my skin. like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All i’m takin’ is your time. help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong, i don’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.
And it’s sad to be alone. help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong, (yes, i do !)
I don’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.
Lord, it’s bad to be alone. help me make it through the night.
