Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose, let it fall
Lay it soft upon your skin
Like the shadow’s on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I’m asking 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
It’s so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it through the night
It’s so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
