HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
Sammi Smith


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
