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
