Take the ribbon from my hair shake it loose and let it fall
Laying 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
I don't care what's right or wrong I don't try to understand
Let the devil have tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
Lord it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
[ choir ]
Lord it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
I can't stand to be alone help me make it through the night
