Waylon makes a wonderful version of the song "Help Me Make It Through the Night", in the tribute to the composer and writer Kris Kristofferson made in 1995. Kristofferson said he got inspiration for the song from an interview with Esquire magazine with Frank Sinatra. When asked what he believed in, Frank replied: "Alcoholic beverage, breadth or a bible ... whatever helps me out of the night."

Kris Kristofferson – Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose, let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadow 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 wont try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrows 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 wont try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrows 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
