Help Me

Dottie West · Once You Were Mine [RCA Victor] [1981]

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

'Til 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
