I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
It's a Cover Up 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 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

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

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
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

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

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
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

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

Don′t want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I′d miss you baby
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
