(Mickey Newbury)

Can I stay with you awhile right awhile behind your smile
You don't have to say the things you used to say
Just let me sleep here for a time in the want of your loving mind
And tomorrow I'll be on my way.

Just hold me in the want of your gentle smile
Just tonight hon with you then I'll be going on my way
Just hide me till I have I have the strenght to go
For now all I want to know is morning by your side.

Let me stay with you awhile right awhile behind your smile
You don't have to say the things you used to say
Just let me sleep here for a time in the want of your loving mind
Awhile till I find the strenght to go. mhmm...
