Take the ribbons from your hair shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against my 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 I don't care what's right or wrong now I won'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 I don't want to be alone help me make it through the night [ ac.guitar ] Lord it's sad to be alone please help me make it through the night No I don't want to be alone please help me make it through the night
