I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
刘文天 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you're sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I just stay lost in this moment forever
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 baby
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 baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeking
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever
Forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
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 baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
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 baby
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 baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
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 baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
I don't wanna miss a thing




I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

很喜欢他在台上的感觉!很享受我也会被带动进他的情绪里面!这首歌演绎的很棒很深情😢喜欢他的呐喊!

@leoy1886

口音什么的都是次要,关键是我听到了一种激情,嘶吼很有力量

@user-eg5si6rd3q

原作本來就是一個無法超越的版本
但他唱的版本是目前除了原作外
我聽到非常感動的
Bravo~~

@xanphn

那年新歌声真是神仙打架

@ryanippp

由中國好聲音到現在為止
只有【劉文天】能讓我在手機面前也情不自禁地 鼓掌! 真想去現場為掌聲出一分力。感謝你為了音樂。

@PoolsharkTang

同感。感觉中国好声音里,好听的歌一届比一届少。。。这届也就刘文天的歌能听听

@user-hk5gx4lf4h

我不太明白你的感覺,他後面都唱不上去。

@PoolsharkTang

他这样声嘶力竭的唱法,后面还能保持那种状态,相当不错了。估计让汪峰上去可能还不如他呢。我们赞赏的不是他的细节,而是他的态度。
