(Like sung by elvis:

Take the ribbons from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against you skin

Like the shadows on the wall



Come and lay here by my side

Tell the Earth upon you lied

All I'm takin' is your time

Help me make it through the night



I don't know what's right or wrong

I don't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

'Cause tonight I need a drink



Yesterday's dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

Yes, it saddenss me long

Help me make it through the night



Yes, it saddenss me long....

Help me make it through the night.)

Like sung by Kristoferson (original !!):

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
