Lyrics
Take the ribbon 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
‘Til the early morning light
All I’m takin’ is your time
So, 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
Blow 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
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
I don’t wanna be alone
I help you make it through the night
