I'll take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Like the shadows on the wall
Hold your body close to mine
Till the early morning light
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
But tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
Lord, it's sad to be alone
So help me make it through
Lord, it's sad to be alone
So help me make it through
so help me make it through the night
And when I knew that I'm gone
Lord, I said to the unknown
Oh, help me make it through the night
