Help Me Make It Through The Night (Live) Lyrics
Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge
Lyrics
Take that ribbon from your hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Laying soft against my skin. Like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night.
I don't care what's right or wrong, I won't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow cause tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
I don't care what's right or wrong, 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 bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
I don't wanna be alone. Help me make it through the night.
