Help me make it through the night — Jim Reeves Lyrics

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft upon my skin
Like a shadow on the wall.

Come and lay down 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 what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Come and lay down 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 what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause 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 just don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night...
