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.
