Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lyin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Come and lie down by my side
In the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care if it's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend
Chorus:
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
(Hum first two lines of Chorus)
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
