I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Aerosmith Lyrics

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
I am so enraptured with your being that I would sacrifice my own need for rest to simply listen to the sound of you breathing.

Watch you smile while you are sleeping
I am so in love with you that watching you smile even in your sleep brings me immense joy.

While you're far away dreaming
Even when you're not physically present, I still cherish the thought of you and the dreams you may be having.

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
Being lost in the beauty of you and our love is worth more to me than anything else in this life.

I could stay lost in this moment forever
I never want to leave the feeling of being alive in your love, it is a moment that I wish could stay indefinitely.

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Being with you is such a gift. Every passing moment is an opportunity for me to cherish and appreciate you more.

Don't want to close my eyes
The fear of missing a moment with you is so immense that I would rather keep my eyes open indefinitely.

I don't want to fall asleep
The thought of being asleep and potentially missing out on any moment with you is unbearable for me.

'Cause I'd miss you baby
The very thought of being without you, even for a moment, fills me with an ache I cannot bear.

And I don't want to miss a thing
I want to be there for every moment, every breath and every dream, just to be close to you.

'Cause even when I dream of you
Even when I am lost in my own thoughts and dreams, you remain a central focus of my every thought.

The sweetest dream will never do
Even the most wonderful dream could never match the reality of being with you in every moment.

I'd still miss you baby
There is nothing that could ever replace the feeling of being with you.

I don't want to miss one smile
Your very smile brings so much light to my life that it is something I could not bear to miss.

I don't want to miss one kiss
Being able to kiss you is a great honor for me, and something that I want to experience every chance I get.

I just want to be with you
Being close to you is everything that I want in this life.

Right here with you, just like this
I never want to leave this moment, where I am close to you and ensconced in your love.

I just want to hold you close
Being able to hold you is one of the greatest pleasures of my life, and something that I never want to let go of.

Feel your heart so close to mine
The feeling of being close to you, heart to heart, is something that fills me with such warmth and joy.

And just stay here in this moment
Being in the presence of your love is something that I cherish and never want to give up.

For all the rest of time
The love that we share now is something that I want to hold onto for eternity.
