Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Feel it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Until the early morning light
All I'm asking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
An' I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For 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

An' I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

All I'm asking is your time
Help me make it through the night
