Take the ribbon from my hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against your 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



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
