Kris about the story behind this song: "It was just what I was feeling. I was actually sitting in a helicopter tied down on top of an oil rig 50 miles south of New Orleans out in the Gulf and just thinking about asking someone to just help me through the night." In some other interview Kris said, the idea for this song, written in "one of those little bubble helicopters", had been sparked by remarks made during an interview by Frank Sinatra, who said that he would use religion, a broad or the bottle or "anything else that would help a man make it through the night." And he also said that he probably started writing this song "because I liked Dylan's 'I'll be your baby tonight."

Kris looked so really happy and full of joy in this entire concert... I just love it.

Help me make it through the night

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 I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night.

I don't care who' s right or wrong, I don'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.

I don't care what's right or wrong, I won't try to understand.

Let the devil take tomorrow for 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 wanna be alone. Help me make it through the night.

Help me make it through the night (1970)

Nimm das Band aus deinem Haar,

schüttle es und lass es

sanft auf meine Haut fallen

wie die Schatten auf der Wand.

Komm und leg dich an meine Seite

bis zum zeitigen Morgenlicht.

Ich will nur deine Zeit von dir.

Hilf mir, es durch die Nacht zu schaffen.

Mir ist egal, was richtig oder falsch ist,

ich versuche auch gar nicht, es zu verstehen.

Ich pfeif auf das was morgen ist --

Heut Nacht, da brauch ich eine Freundin.

Der gestrige Tag ist aus und vorbei,

und der morgige ist auch noch außer Sicht.

Und es ist schlimm, ganz allein zu sein.

Hilf mir, die Nacht zu überstehen.

Ich möchte nicht allein sein.

Hilf mir, es durch die Nacht zu schaffen.

Der Song sei keinem bestimmten Mädchen gewidmet, betonte Kris in einem Interview. Er flog damals als Hubschrauberpilot (das hatte er ja bei der Army gelernt) über den Golf zu Ölbohrinseln, und als er da eines Nachts festgesurrt auf der Bohrinsel in der Pilotenkanzel saß, 50 Meilen südlich von New Orleans draußen im Golf, waren das seine Gefühle: einfach jemanden zu bitten, ihm durch die Nacht zu helfen...Und so schrieb er diesen Song.

Inspiriert wurde Kris durch Worte von Frank Sinatra, der in einem Interview gesagt hatte, that he would use religion, a broad or the bottle -- „or anything else that would help a man make it through the night." Kris sagte, dass er wahrscheinlich begann, diesen Song zu schreiben, weil er Bob Dylans "I'll be your baby tonight" so sehr mochte.
