help me make it through the night

take the ribbon from your hair

shake it loose and let it fall

laying soft upon 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 nigh

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 sleep alone

help me make it through the night
