Help Me Make It Through The Night lyrics



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
