Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on a wall
Come and lay down by my side
'Til the early morning light
All I'm asking is your time
Help me make it through this night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Just let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I just need a friend
Yesterday is come and gone
And tomorrow, it's out of sight
And it's so sad to be alone
Please help me make it through the night

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
It's so sad to be alone
Please help me make it through this night
