Help Me Make It Through The Night

Kris Kristofferson

© Combine Music, BMI

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 till 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 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
[ strings ]
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone help me make it through the night

With Pen In Hand

Bobby Goldsboro

With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
And if you can't forget the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way hmm hmm

Can you take good care of Bobby
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away hear what I say

Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me

And tonight when you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
With your heart on fire will you have no desire to kiss me or to hold me
And if you can forget the things we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way mhm mhm

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Kris Kristofferson

© Combine Music, BMI

Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wadn't bad
So I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled through my closet to my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to greet the day

Well I'd smoke my brain the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid
Cursin' at a can that he was kicking
Then across the empty street
I caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to something
I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalk wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday that makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a daddy
With the laughing little girl he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the song they were singing
Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On the Sunday morning sidewalk...
Om the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down

Then You Walk In

David Malloy - Johnny Wilson

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Sometimes I think that I'll be leaving
There's a lot of things I'd like to see
And when I hear those big jets whining
The urge for leaving comes to me

Sometimes you leave the door wide open
And it would be so easy just to go
Then about the time that I quit hoping
Somehow you just seem to know

Then you walk in knowing what I'm thinking of
You give your warm and tender love to me
And then you know I just can't go

Then you walk in knowing what I'm thinking of
You give your warm and tender love to me
And then you know I'll never go

He's Everywhere

Gene Dobbins - Jean Whitehead

© Zodiac Music, BMI

The day he left I told myself that he could ne replaced
And the memories that he leaves they could be erased
But since he's been gone oh I sing a different song
Cause nothin' is working out for me

In every room of this house he left a memory
In every dream that I dream he walks and talks with me
So how can I forget him and say that I don't care
When he's all around me he's everywhere

His empty chair and pillow wear he would lay his head
It brings to mind the happy times before goodbyes we said
He's on my mind each morning and stays the long day through
And I miss him saying I love you

So how can I forget him and say that I don't care
When he's all around me he's everywhere

But You Know I Love You

Mike Settle - Pierre Delanoe

© Devon Music, BMI

When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I'm wakened up from another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road once again it seems
And all I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

Oh how I wish this love was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

But if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this world had not yet crossed our minds
And the answer could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you I'd come running back to you

But you know we can't live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent I must to leave you all alone
Cause I made my choice many years ago
Now this travelin' life is the only life I know
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

Lonely Street

Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Kenny Sowder

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I'm looking for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon that Lonely Street there's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams and watch an old love die

If I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street

I've Got To Have You

Kris Kristofferson

© Careers Music, BMI

You came smiling softly shyly moved in easy as a dreamer into my world
And before I realized the danger I found myself starin' into your eyes
And somewhere in their colors I saw promises things I've never seen before
And it's all over I've got to have you

Holdin' on the top and saying nothing more than a murmur I could lose you
Then without a warnin' I remember that you trembled at a touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me and no one else would ever feel the same in my asrms
It's all over I've got to have you

Waking in the morning to the tenderness of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while my hair was blowing softer than the whisper on your cheek uh huh
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love but it's enough it's enough
I can't help it I've got to have you
Oh it's all over I've got to have you
