Jennings, Waylon - Let Me Stay Awhile Lyrics






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...

    Unbelievable, Waylon. How did you do it? What was the secret? Because only you knew, and now you are gone. I’m glad you didn’t share it. You’re the one and only one. The best there ever was and ever will be. I love you more than anything, thank you for being perfect!

  4. G.... B....

    So beautiful, that voice is incredible ❤️

  6. K.... P....

    Oh how I wish, but never again, but before I fall asleep I picture the happy times

  7. m.... s....

    Oui merveilleux chanteur qui laisse de son passage une empreinte d'humanité et d'humilité - Yes, wonderful singer who leaves an impression of humanity and humility

  8. R.... A....

    I saw the demos running for president It's a good thing we don't need brains to run on a demo party. They the demos are very lacking.

  9. M.... S....

    Doesn't get much Greater! What a talent man, everything he persevered amazing! Waylon Forever 👍

  10. P.... R....

    I wish I could put this one song on a loop. I could listen to this forever!

    Waylon Jennings The Greatest Of The Greats

  12. P.... D....

    Waylon your the best

  13. K.... 0....

    Just when I think that I’ve heard all of Waylon’s beautiful songs, I find another one.

  14. P.... R....

    This is lovely - always have to play it two or three times when it comes up in the mix! Love ya', Waylon!

  15. d.... b....

    Waylon was and still is a great man ,He loved and still loves JESSI.SHE will be with him in eternity x

    d.... b....

    dorothy, My thoughts exactly! Waylon and Jessi had such a pure, true love that overcame all obstacles, and could never die. Not many of us can say that. Sometimes I think that it was best that Waylon passed first, because he idolized Jessi, and I really don’t think that he could have gone on without her. I get the impression that Jessi is just patiently biding her time until she can be with Waylon once again.

  16. d.... b....

    Waylon speaks to all in his songs Wonderful man x

  17. C.... G....

    He's The Greatest Country Singer Ever

  21. A.... M....

    They just dont make songs like this anymore RIP Wylon

    A.... M....

    Or a Waylon to sing them!

    A.... M....

    The song was written by the late Mickey Newbury. Check out his own, personal version. It's just as beautiful.

  22. M.... L....

    C'est tellement beau on sens toute sa sensibilité et cette voix remplie de douceur WoW

  23. T.... G....

    He would have loved Your Face

  24. P.... F....

    There will never be another singer that sings from the soul like Waylon Jennings awesome talent

  25. D.... L....

    JUST A LITTLE WHILE

  26. U.... 4....

    "Why Have Those Wonderful Talents Always Such A Troubled Life And An Much Too Early Death"? " ..........

  27. A.... M....

    Listen to this voice. Only great Wylon - is still the best

  34. L.... T....

    So much feeling in this song... moves one and all.

    L.... T....

    The feeling is in Waylon's voice whatever he sings.

    L.... T....

    @Ken 1706 sings from the soul

    L.... T....

    @Al Barth He sure did and that is what gave Waylon his unique style. Nobody could ever replace him.

  35. l.... ....

    Always love this song thank you for sharing.Waylon was one the best.

  36. J.... B....

    Beautiful song !!

  37. A.... H....

    Yes, I agree, best singer, and what a beautiful song.  Gone too soon!  Wish I had the opportunity of seeing him in concert.

    A.... H....

    i seen waylon 3 times and the man stood on stage like a mountain ,what a voice

    A.... H....

    Saw Waylon 3 times in concert in Miami. Love this guy.Does his songs at Karaoke. Gone too soon.

    A.... H....

    Althea Henry Robin Trower wrote a song with your name very good song , listen to it !!! Yes Waylon is number 1 for sure . !!!

    A.... H....

    Althea Henry Try listening to James Dewar Stumble Down Romancer and Daydream

    A.... H....

    His concert was awesome, I saw him (I think it was 1994) in Wellington, Ohio at the Lorain County Fair and he put on an AMAZING SHOW! I had always thought the song Help Me Make It Through The Night was weak and whiny, but he picked that song up and ran with it, totally transformed it!

  38. L.... D....

    Best singer ever and this song is so beautiful.    I never get tired of this beautiful voice or looking at him for that matter.   Miss you terribly Waylon!!!

    L.... D....

    I had the pleasure of meeting both Waylon and Jessi in 1986. He was such a sweet and humble man, not to mention VERY easy on the eyes! And, he sure loved his Jessi.
    It wasn’t until he stood up to give me a hug and a sweet kiss on my cheek before I left that I fully realized how tall Waylon really was. Gosh, how I miss that gentle giant!

    L.... D....

    yes lili is so true

  39. J.... W....

    I personally place him above Johnny Cash because he made being a Nashville Rebel fashionable.

    J.... W....

    Definitely!!

    J.... W....

    He did it his way

  40. S.... G....

    Hands down the greatest country singer of all time...Man, he had it all.

    S.... G....

    Yes, he sure did! And so did we - for much too short of a time.

    S.... G....

    But we can at least still listen to his music. The best country singer ever! Sadly missed.

  41. I.... M....

    Lovely song................

    I.... M....

    Written by the late Mickey Newbury.

  42. T.... ....

    This is so good song I just keep playing it over and over even tho I have heard it before

  43. M.... H....

    A while...- life is just a while..Miss you Waylon..

  44. g.... f....

    A very special man...he always made my heart would go faster just listening to his voice & him......God Bless You Waylon I shall always remember and listen to you till my last breath...love Glenretta
    P.S, Jessi U Had Waylon and I wish I'd had been u. God bless u too Jessi

  45. l.... w....

    l.... w....

    So. True. So. Sad. Love. It. Though. Brings. Back. Too.any. Sad. Memories. ..

  46. l.... w....

    it sure made me cry .there is no one like him anymore

  47. D.... P....

    I was thinking the same thing as I sit here wiping the tears from my eyes. If you don't tear up while listening to this song, you haven't lost someone you have truly loved..

  48. l.... w....

    it makes me cry this so beautful.brings back so many memorys.

  58. l.... m....

    Written by the song writers, song writer.... Mickey Newbury.
    Waylon, on television, once said that if you don't like Mickey Newbury, you're not an American.

    Remember Luchenback ( sp?) Texas, with the line "Newburys train songs"?

  59. t.... ....

    Agree 100% on this....sassy, sexy, sweet, handsome, playful...he has it all!

  60. t.... ....

    I meant to say "love" song. Oops
