I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Angel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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 babe
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 babe
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 seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And 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 babe
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 babe
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 babe
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 babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
