"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"

(originally by Aerosmith)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Where every moment spent with you

Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what your dreaming

Wondering if it's me your seeing

And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together

I just wanna stay with you

In this moment forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile

I don't wanna miss one kiss

Well, I just wanna be with you, right here with you

Just like this

I just wanna hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you

And I don't wanna miss a thing
