Gladys Knight - Help Me Make It Through the Knight (featuring The Pips) Lyrics

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 alone tonight

I imagine most of us have
Been it that situation
At one time or another
I know I have

Recently, I heard a beautiful song
With a dynamic lyric that really
Expresses this feeling of lonlieness

It means a lot to me, personally
And I'd like to share with you
I think you'll see what I mean

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Til the early morning light
All I'm taking 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
Oh, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Lord, it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Lead me through the night
Come on and take me through the night

Through the night
