Gladys Knight - Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics

SPOKEN:

I'm imagining alot of..happy people.
And most of you are with someone you love.
Well you..are....the lucky ones.
All over the world there are lots of people who are alone tonight.
I imagine most of us have been in that situation,
at one time or another.
I know I have.
Recently I heard a most beautiful song, with a...dynamic lyric
that really expresses this feeling of loneliness.
It means alot to me personally.
And i'd like to share it with you.

I think you'll see what i mean.

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

I don't care what's right or wrong
I wont try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend

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

(mmm's in the same tune as opening line)

Lord it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night (oo-hoo)
Lead me through the night(oo-hoo)
Come on and take me through the night(oo-hoo)

THROUUGHHH.....THHEEEE......NI-HIIIIGHT

End
