Story Behind The Song
WHY DO WE ALWAYS REMEMBER THE NEGATIVE?
I USED TO SING THIS SONG WHEN I PLAYED IN HOTEL BARS AND RESTAURANT LOUNGES. ONE GUY REMARKED, "HEY, THAT'S A GIRL'S SONG"..I TOLD HIM "NOT WHEN I SING IT"...A FEW PEOPLE BUSTED UP LAUGHING INCLUDING HIS DATE...I WAS KIND OF GLAD HE LEFT...

Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' 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 takin' 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 take tomorrow
Lord, 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
