Help Me Make It Through the Night Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' 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
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
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 nigh
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it through the nigh
Somebody who clearly regrets abandoning his past
Of interest, Chris had said he Had got the idea for the song after reading an interview Frank Sinatra had done for esquire magazine in which Sinatra was asked a question and his reply was “ booze, broads or the Bible, which ever helps me make it through the night”. Kristofferson never recovered from his first divorce despite being with numerous women and was always lonely. he changed the lyrics a bit and that was the outcome, he invited Dottie West to sing it with him but she felt the song was too provocative so she turned him down and later regretted her decision.
