Lyrics

Take the ribbon from your hair

Shake it loose, let it fall

Layin' soft against my skin

Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side

'Til the early morning light

All I'm takin' 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 (hey)

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend (oh)

Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's bad to be alone

Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong (yes, I do)

I don't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's bad to be alone

Help me make it through the night

Help me make it through the night

That helps
