I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Chesnutt Mark 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 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 want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't want to 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 want to miss a thing

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me your seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you
In this moment forever

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't want to 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 want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you, right here with you
Just like this
I just want to hold you close
And feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to 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 want to miss a thing

I'd still miss you baby
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to 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 want to miss a thing
