Help Me Make It Through The Night.

Help Me Make It Through The Night.

Alongside the famous early versions of “Help Me Make It Through the Night”; written by the late Kris Kristofferson, Anne Murray also put her own warm, clear stamp on the song, recording it for her album “Country Croonin”, released back on October 22nd, 2002.

A beloved Canadian vocalist known for her smooth, comforting delivery across country and pop, Ms Murray approaches the lyric less like a bar-room confession and more like a gentle, late-night request for closeness, proof that this classic can feel just as powerful when it’s sung softly as when it’s sung raw.

Help Me Make It Through The Night.

Help Me Make It Through The Night.

Take the ribbon from my hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Lay it soft against your skin,
Like the shadow on the wall.
Come and lie down by my side,
‘Til the early morning light,
All I’m takin’ is your time,
Help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong,
And 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.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong,
And I won’t try to understand,
Let the devil take tomorrow,
‘Cause 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 want to be alone,
Help me make it through the night.
