Just For A While Lyrics

There's not much of value I own

No fortune, no mansion, no gold

Just a heart that's weathered and old

And a dream of not being alone

Working each day, just getting by

The world spins, I try to keep pace

But I'd trade it all for a face

To come home to, a reason why

I ain't got much, but what I do

I'd give it all just to be with you

I ain't got nothing but a smile

But it's honest, and it's true

Like a promise overdue

And I'd love to share it with you

Even if it's just for a while

I know my world is small, it's bare

But there's a place for you in there

If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care

Even if it's just for a while

Got no lady to call my own

And I'm not sure I'm worth the chase

But I'd give you a tender space

If you'd stay instead of roam

I'm not the kind they write about

No hero in some grand romance

But if you'd give me just one chance

I'd love you without a doubt

I ain't got much, but what I do

I'd give it all just to be with you

I ain't got nothing but a smile

But it's honest, and it's true

Like a promise overdue

And I'd love to share it with you

Even if it's just for a while

I know my world is small, it's bare

But there's a place for you in there

If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care

Even if it's just for a while

I know I'm not a perfect man

I've stumbled more than I have stood

But I'd love you the best I could

If only you'd take my hand

I may not have much, but I swear

With you, I'd give the world I know

Even if it's not much to show

I'd still be glad that you're there

I ain't got much, but what I do

I'd give it all just to be with you

I ain't got nothing but a smile

But it's honest, and it's true

Like a promise overdue

And I'd love to share it with you

Even if it's just for a while

I know my world is small, it's bare

But there's a place for you in there

If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care

Even if it's just for a while
