Help Me Make It Through The Night (Kris Kristofferson cover) - Maggie

Help Me Make It Through The Night (Country ballad by Kris Kristofferson 1970)

Lyrics:
Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin soft upon my skin. like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All Im takin is your time. help me make it through the night.
I dont care whats right or wrong, I dont try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrows out of sight.
And its sad to be alone. help me make it through the night.
I dont care whats right or wrong,
I dont try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrows out of sight.
Lord, its bad to be alone. help me make it through the night.

Recorded (among others) by: Elvis Presley, Sammi Smith, John Cash & June Carter, Joan Baez, Willie Nelson, Peggy Lee, John Holt, Lena Zavaroni, Ray Stevens, Pinkard & Bowden, Mariah Carey, Charlie Landsborough, Gladys Knight, Martina McBride

Nice job on this. We also cover it. Not on YouTube yet though.

Thank you! We didn't know this song before we tried it, but at least for me (the player) it wasn't too demanding ;-)

Jaahans, isännän nakit näköjään pelaa taas ja hyvin pelaakin!

Komea ja tunteikas tulkinta taasen jälleen. Teidän yhteistyö alkaa olla sairaan kovalla tasolla. Kiva kuunnella kun 'sielut synkkaa'.

Vaan vitonen tällä kertaa ;)

[maggiesband]

Kiitokset! Ilmeisesti synkkaakin, kun saimme tästä jonkinlaisen version jo ensimmäisellä yrityksellä - näinhän ei aina tietenkään käy ;-)

I liked it too! Nice picking and well sung. Kris would surely approve.

Thank you! This was a new song for us, but it is beautiful and fits our country hymn genre...

Thank you Marco, nice that you liked it. BR, Maggie and me.
