Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Help Me Make It Through the Night
Sammi Smith
Words and Music by Kris
Kristofferson

Peak Billboard Pop Chart position # 8 in 1971 but it was a
#1 on
the Country chart.
Later charted by Gladys Knight and the Pips at
#33 in 1972


Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let
it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the
wall

Come and lay down by ma 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
'n' 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
night
