Help me make it through the night – Gladys Knight

Take the ribbon from my hair, shake it loose, let it fall,
lay it soft upon your skin. Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side, till 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, 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.
It's so 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.

One of the most beautiful ballads ever written, in my opinion. Also, pretty accurate in it's description of how I currently ache.
