Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (from You Gotta Move)

Now that I have kicked of R & R with a bang up KISS song, how about one by Rock and Roll's Aerosmith titled - "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

About Aerosmith:
"Aerosmith is an American rock band formed in Boston in 1970. The group consists of Steven Tyler (lead vocals), Joe Perry (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (guitar). Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has also incorporated elements of pop rock, heavy metal, glam metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. They are sometimes referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band". The primary songwriting team of Tyler and Perry is often known as the "Toxic Twins"!

About this song:
"Songwriter Diane Warren drew the inspiration for this song from the interview with Barbra Streisand and her soon-to-be husband actor James Brolin, when Streisand told about one of their nights together, "And we're just about to fall asleep. And he says, 'I don't want to fall asleep.' And so I said, 'Why not?' And he says, 'Because then I'll miss you.' " by AZLyrics

LYRICS:

Aerosmith, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"

I could stay awake just to hear you breathin'.
watch you smile while you are sleepin',
while you're far away and dreamin'.

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.

I 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 would never do.
I'd still miss you, baby,
and I don't wanna miss a thing!

Lyin' close to you feelin' your heart beatin',
and I'm wonderin' what you're dreamin',
wonderin' if it's me you're seein'.

Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together.
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, 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!

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 the rest of time!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH!

I 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 would never do.
I'd still miss you, baby,
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, 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!

I don't wanna close my eyes!
I DON'T WANNA FALL asleep, yeah!
I don't wanna miss a thing.

Writer(s): Diane Warren
