Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
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 I treasure
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And 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
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)
[Chorus]
Don't wanna close my eyes
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
[Chorus]
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
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
