Help Me Make It Through the Night Songtext

von Gladys Knight and the Pips

[Monologue]

I'm imagining a lot 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 lonely tonight, I imagine most of us are in that situation, at some time or another... I know I have.

Recently I heard the most beautiful song with a dynamic lyric that really expresses the 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...

[Lyrics]

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 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 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
