I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Studio 99 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 of treasure
I don′t wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don′t wanna miss a thing
′Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
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 want to stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don′t wanna fall asleep
′Cause I'd miss you, baby
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, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don′t wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don′t wanna fall a sleep
′Cause I'd miss you, baby
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, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don′t wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall a sleep
'Cause I′d miss you, baby
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, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don′t wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don′t want to miss a thing
