Take that ribbon from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Lay it soft against your skin

Like the shadow on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side

Till the early morning light

All I'm takin' is your time

Help me make it through the night.

I don't care who'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

And it's sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night.

I don't care who'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

But tomorrow's out of sight

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

You don't have to be alone

I'll help you make it through the night.
