Help Me Through the Night Lyrics
Somewhere along the way, I found a meaning
I woke up dreaming, along the way
It never quite seems the same when you awaken
And making up for the time is such a price to pay
And it just ain't fair
[Chorus]
So, help me through, mama
Help me to ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night, once again
That's the danger in pretending
Trying to defend yourself from someone else's war
I don't know what they're fighting for
And I just don't care
I woke up dreaming, along the way
It never quite seems the same when you awaken
And making up for the time is such a price to pay
And it just ain't fair
So, help me through, mama
Help me to ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night, once again
Trying to defend yourself from someone else's war
I don't know what they're fighting for
And I just don't care

Help Me Through the Night
“I was married at the time and living in Boulder. My wife was taking our four-year-old daughter to school and some lady ran a stop sign and creamed our car. And I lost my daughter. And it was gory and all that. To help with closure, I wrote this song for her. And over the process of the next year, my wife and I, we just weren’t strong enough to get through the grief and so we separated and eventually got divorced. But I met a girl in Los Angeles, and my song “Help Me Through the Night” was to her about being there for me. Because I was a wreck. But she was there so that I could grieve Emma.” Joe Walsh (767)
