00:01We'd like to do for you now our very latest Tamla Motown release taken from
00:07our latest album Gladys Knight and the Poops Standing Ovation. It's one of my
00:11favorite numbers written by Chris Christophson and it means a lot to me
00:15personally. I'd like to share it with you. I think you'll see what I mean.
00:21Take the ribbon from my hair. Shake it loose and let it fall. Laying soft against your
00:45skin. Like the shadows on the wall. Come and lay down by my side. Till the early morning light.
01:11All I'm taking is your time. Help me make it through the night.
01:26I don't care what's right or wrong. And I won't try to understand.
01:41Let the devil take tomorrow. For tonight I need a friend. Oh, yesterday is dead and gone.
02:05And tomorrow's out of sight. And it's so sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
02:29Lord, it's so sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.
