Help Me Make It Through The Night

Help Me Make It Through The Night - John Holt

Written by：Don Henley/Glenn Lewis Frey/John David Souther

Every night I'm lying in bed

Holding you close in my dreams

Thinking about all the things that we said

And coming apart at the seams

We try to talk it over

But the words come out to rough

I know you were trying

To give me the best of your love

I give the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby

You get the best of my love

Oh sweet darling girl

You get the best of my love

Beautiful faces and loud empty places

Look at the way that we live

Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give

That same old crowd

Was like a cold dark cloud

That we could never rise above

I know in my heart I give you the best of my love

I give the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby

You get the best of my love

Oh sweet darling girl

You get the best of my love

I'm going back in time

And it's a sweet dream

It was a quiet night

And I would be all right

If I could go on sleeping

But every morning

I wake up and worry

What's gonna happen today

You see it your way

And I see it mine

But we both see it slipping away

I know we always had each other

I guess that really wasn't enough

I know in my heart

I give you the best of my love

I give the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby

You get the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby

You get the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby

You get the best of my love

Oh sweet darling baby
