Sammi Smith - Help Me Make It Through the Night lyrics

rate me

Take the ribbon from my hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft upon my skin

Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side

Til the early mornin' light

All I'm takin' is your time

Help me make it through the night.

Chorus:

I don't care what's right or wrong

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

But 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.

(Repeat Chorus)
