How does that expression go?

I'm not sure this is the right place to be asking, but I'm trying to find an expression. I'm not sure how it goes exactly.

I'm here for a [something] not a while
or,
I'm here for a while not a [something]

'while' and the other word probably rhyme. I thought smile, but I don't know. I might be completely off the mark with the whole thing.

.
All I can think of is 'here for awhile but not for a long while'. I suppose that's not it, eh?
