Спасибо Юрию (Ohmygod) за его вариант перевода этой песни, побудивший и меня попробовать перевести её по-своему.

Help Me Make It Through The Night 
Kris Kristofferson

Take the ribbon from your hair,
Shake it loose, let it fall,
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadow's 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,
I won't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause 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.

I don't want to be alone,
Help me make it through the night.
I don't want to be alone,
Help me make it through the night...
