Lyrics

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadows 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
Well, I don't care who's right or wrong
And I don'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
Well, I don't care who's right or wrong
And I won'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 sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
Well, I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
