I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Aerosmith · Other Songs - Aerosmith
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,
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,
(Chorus)
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 would 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,
And then I kiss your eyes,
And thank God we're together,
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever,
Forever and ever.
(Chorus)
And 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,
And 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
(Chorus to end)
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' stands as a defining anthem of the late 1990s, blending hard rock with orchestral arrangements to create a soaring, cinematic sound. Originally recorded for the film 'Armageddon,' the track became a global phenomenon, transcending its cinematic origins to become a staple of major sporting events and pop culture celebrations. The song showcases the band's ability to merge their signature heavy riffs with melodic pop sensibilities, driven by Steven Tyler's powerful vocals and Joe Perry's intricate guitar work. Its enduring legacy lies in its universal message of unity and determination, making it one of the most recognizable and frequently covered songs in modern rock history.
