Take the ribbon from my hair   Shake it loose and let it fall   Laying soft against your skin   Like the shadows on the wall.      Come and lay down by my side   'Til the early morning light   All I'm taking is your time   Help me make it through the night.      I don't care what's right or wrong   I don't try to understand   Let the devil have tomorrow   Lord, tonight I need a friend.      Yesterday is dead and gone   And tomorrow's out of sight   Lord, it's sad to be alone   Help me make it through the night.      --- Instrumental ---      Lord, it's sad to be alone   Help me make it through the night   I can't stand to be alone   Help me make it through the night...
