Take the ribbons from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against 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 what's right or wrong

And I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Girl, tonight I need a friend



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And I don't want to be alone

Help me make it through the night



Lord it's sad to be alone

Please help me make it through the night



Lord I don't want to be alone

Please help me make it through the night
