Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics
By Kris Kristopherson

Welcome to this Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics page. Below you'll find the lyrics to this great song from Kris Kristopherson plus a video acoustic demo of my version.

Kristopherson released this song in 1970 on his album Kristopherson but never released the song as a single. Sammi Smith, with her version later in 1971, had a #1 hit with this tune. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Peggy Lee, Joan Baez and many others have recorded this song. The inspiration came from a Frank Sinatra quote in Esquire magazine where he said when asked what he believed in he said "Booze, broads, or a bible...whatever helps me make it through the night."

--- Start Of Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics ---
Take the ribbon from your 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
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 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

BREAK

I don't care what's right or wrong ... 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

I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night
