Knight, Gladys - Help Me Make It Through The Night 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 ma 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

    Gladys Knight should be the role model of every woman alive today, she sang with a compassion and soul that expresses a true feeling of love, dignity and respect a truly remarkable woman and human being

  52. K.... T....

    So sad, but...so beautiful!!

  53. m.... t....

    This song, sung by this woman makes me so emotive. I’m not sure if it is because it reminds me of the days when I was a child when Mama was alive or the song itself but there you go.

  54. u.... m....

    The best song and voice forever all over the world.

  57. E.... S....

    This version evokes beautiful memories

  58. R.... S....

    The greatest ever...

  59. F.... G....

    This version is an absolute masterpiece. I remember hearing this for the first time as a 16-year-old, on some random Motown compilation CD I bought at Target. I thank God for that compilation CD, because this song has been a consistently meaningful source of consolation for so many years. Thank you Kris Kristofferson and Glady Knight!!

  60. t.... b....

    Beautiful!

  61. L.... T....

    My mum loved this song singing it all the time , i only appreciate now shes gone its so sad.

  62. S.... C....

    I'm in love with this song ♥

  63. A.... ....

    This is so very beautiful!

  64. A.... ....

    She's so GOOD!

  65. S.... D....

    I am 68 years old and this song still steers my soul, another broken marriage another broken heart, some people just don't hear the message being sung here or the love contained within.

  66. r.... ....

    it was a great country song and then Gladys blew all other versions away. I still love the original Sammie Smith too though.

  67. J.... B....

    Incredible voice, she sang also the Bond theme; "Licence to kill".

  68. G.... B....

    Erick sermon destroyed this.

  69. A.... S....

    Utmost respect for a wonderfully sung song

  70. A.... s....

    my family had this version on an album back in the days. the memories and that voice. so soulful & powerful. I love it!

  71. A.... ....

    I wonder who wrote the intro- was it Gladys?  My father brought the single home one day when I was a kid and I have loved this recording ever since!  Easily the best version of the song: Sammi Smith may have had the charted hit, but THIS is the real deal!

  72. D.... F....

    You're welcome :) He probably did drink a bit but the song isn't about that, for sure.

  73. L.... O....

    Chris Christofferson wrote this. He is an alcoholic. He wrote it about making it through the night without a drink.

    L.... O....

    Um....NO. First, it's Kris Kristofferson and secondly... the song is about being lonely and not having the one you love and being with someone else just to "make it through the night".

    L.... O....

    Thank you. Someone told me he is an alcoholic and that's what it was about.

  74. M.... V....

    loved this old song xx

  75. c.... i....

    one of my favorite from her....beautiful.....makes me cry..

  76. S.... S....

    I LOVE ALL OF GLADYS & PIPS SONGS.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  77. j.... B....

    The last Few Minutes Are The REAL SONG!!!! SO POWERFUL XXXX

  79. T.... M....

    magical, honest and raw talent can pull off a song like this..... eternally deep and beautifully performed.

  80. S.... H....

    Hauntingly beautiful. One can hear that pain that sometimes accomplish loneliness in Gladys' voice.

  81. J.... F....

    What a beautiful song

  90. T.... ....

    Every time I hear this beautiful song, I think of my first ever proper girlfriend I was 18 and she was 16 who could sing this song so well, that was in 1980. We split up in December of that year, and god, I still miss her so much 35 years on!!

    T.... ....

    i have been there we were both 17 split up after 4 years i am 54 now and i can't forget her i found her back on fb and we are friends now,i live in Spain and she lives in Belgium we have both a relationship and we are happy, but sometimes i think back...how stupid i was,

    T.... ....

    I hope heaven rains down all the joy on your heart forever! Love is tough! Good but tough.

    T.... ....

    I know the feeling. I could write a book.

    T.... ....

    Your first live is never forgotten 💔

    T.... ....

    I know how you feel your one and only true always that will be in your heart you do miss them it’s hard when you are used to that one person then there gone whom meant the world to you you have to adjust. It it’s the little things that get to you always have your memories that never go away
