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 taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
Now 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
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
No I don't want to be alone
Please help me make it through the night
