I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
Pomplamoose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
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 miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, 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 stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don't wanna close my eyes
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
'Cause 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
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Every once in a while I begin to think I'm a pretty good musician. So I listen to this bass line to put me in my place.
@Glossynews
This audio proves we don't need a million dollar studio to record amazing music. And this video proves we don't need to spend $3 million to make something killer. The paradigm has shifted, and I hope you guys are doing good from it.
@ericyi
the piano tones and bass lines really bring out a new sound
@GooeyGremlin
Whenever I have a tiff with my partner and I feel down, I sit down and listen to this song... and then I remember why I went out with him. He makes me happy :) And it makes me see all the little things that make me smile. Thank you Pomplamoose!
@pauczpringels
this guy is just so fucking happy when he's playing. Gotta love it <3

That's one of the main reasons I still listen to Jack Conte to this date, even in his melancholy and morbid songs, he's jolly at the end. My favorite thing about his Kitchen Fork video is the charismatic invitation he extends to his fans to come hang out and get drinks after his show. I still wish I had been there, but alas I discovered these glorious musicians a little too late. He's the bloody CEO of Patreon now, for heaven's sake. Just wild how time flies.

Why are people saying she has a bad voice..... Her tone is unique and haunting, i love her voice... Although she "may" not be such a conservative singer, She manages to take you on a journey....
@MrInterestingthings
I first heard them do this didn't recognize the original because this duo is so inventive and creative . Now 10 years older I'm crying and have no idea . It's more than Nostaghia our inner mind and inner heart and Psyche know the truths we can't handle completely !
@JoshSaysStuff
Oh my gosh. The part with the chorus of voices. So Whitacre-like. Incredible.
