I Don't Want to Miss a Thing

Mark Chesnutt · Ultimate Collection: Complete Mca Single 1990-2000 [2011]

I could stay awake

Just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleepin'

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 with you

Is the moment I treasure.



Chorus:

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 dreamin'

Wondering if it's me you're seein'

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you

In this moment forever.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

I don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

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, babe

I don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

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, babe

And I don't want to miss a thing...
