BRYAN FERRY - Help Me Make It Through the Night lyrics

rate me

(Like sung by elvis:

Take the ribbons from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against you skin

Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay here by my side

Tell the Earth upon you lied

All I'm takin' is your time

Help me make it through the night

I don't know what's right or wrong

I don't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

'Cause tonight I need a drink

Yesterday's dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

Yes, it saddenss me long

Help me make it through the night

Yes, it saddenss me long....

Help me make it through the night.)

Like sung by Kristoferson (original !!):

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 my 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

<brief humming-first two lines of a verse>

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
