Going Ups And The Coming Downs lyrics

Help Me Make It Through the Night
Sammi Smith
Words and Music by Kris Kristofferson

Peak Billboard Pop Chart position # 8 in 1971 but it was a #1 on
the Country chart.
Later charted by Gladys Knight and the Pips at #33 in 1972


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 ma 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



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
