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 taking is your time help me make it through the night
I don’t care who’s right or wrong I don’t try to understand
Let that 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 care who’s right or wrong…
Lord it’s sad to be alone just help me make it through the night
Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don'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 its sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night ....
And its 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
Second Kris Kristofferson song on Olivia's debut. He often sang it with Rita Coolidge, his wife. Kris was slightly country and slightly folk and a little pop-rock.
