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 (yesterday is dead and gone)
And tomorrow's out of sight (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 (Lord tonight I need a friend)

Yesterday is dead and gone (it's dead and gone)
But tomorrow's out of sight (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
