Help Me Make It Through The Night

[Spoken Intro]
I’m imagining a lot of happy people
And most of you are with someone you love
Well you are the lucky one
All over the world there are lots of people
Who are alone tonight
I imagine most of us have been in that situation
At some time or another
I know I have
Recently I've heard a most beautiful song
With dynamic lyrics that really expresses
This feeling of loneliness
It means a lot to me personally
And I’d like to share it with you
I think you’ll see what I mean

[Verse 1]
Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

[Chorus 1]
Come and lay down by my side
'Til the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

[Verse 2]
I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

[Chorus 2]
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

[Outro]
[Humming]
And it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Ooh-ooh
Lead me through the night
Ooh-ooh
Don't wanna be alone
Ooh-ooh
Through the night
