Help Me Make It Through The Night

(album: How Much More Can She Stand - 1971)

Take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon your skin
Like the flowers on the wall.

Come and lay here by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care who's right or wrong
And I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause 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.

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, you know 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.

You know it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night...
