Songwriters: Kristofferson, K;Take the ribbon from your hair  Shake it loose, let it fall  Lay it soft against my skin  Like the shadow's on the wall    Come and lay down by my side  Till 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 won't try to understand  Let the devil take tomorrow  'Cause 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 what's right or wrong  I won't try to understand  Let the devil take tomorrow  'Cause 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 want to be alone  Help me make it through the night  I don't want to be alone  Help me make it through the night      © COMBINE MUSIC CORPORATION;    these lyrics are last corrected by Thomas Ropiak
