Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin

Like the shadow on the wall

Come and lay down by my side

Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' 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
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

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
