9. Help Me Make It Through The Night

(Kristofferson)

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it 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
And I won’t 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
It’s so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

It’s so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Lead me through the night
Take me through the night
Help me through the night
