Aerosmith - 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' (official audio)

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
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

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 (Even when I dream)
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 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 (Even when I dream)
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
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!

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 (Even when I dream)
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
And 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

Μία από τις μεγαλύτερες επιτυχίες των Aerosmith, το τραγούδι "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", αποτελεί σύνθεση της Diane Warren. Πρόκειται για Αμερικανίδα καλλιτέχνιδα - συνθέτρια, τραγούδια της οποίας έχουν ερμηνεύσει οι Heart, Chicago, Starship, Celine Dion, Belinda Carlisle, Cher, Toni Braxton, Michael Bolton, Laura Branigan, Taylor Dayne, Milli Vanilli, Christina Aguilera κλπ.

Αποτέλεσε μέρος του soundtrack της ταινίας "Armageddon", ενώ κυκλοφόρησε και αυτόνομα ως single τον Ιούλιο του 1998. Η Diane Warren το έγραψε έχοντας στον νου της ότι θα το ερμηνεύσει η «Celine Dion or somebody like that» (όπως είχε δηλώσει χαρακτηριστικά), αλλά ο κιθαρίστας Joe Perry έβαλε "το χεράκι του" για να το φέρει στα (ηχητικά) μέτρα των Aerosmith. Ο drummer της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας Joey Kramer είχε δηλώσει χαρακτηριστικά:

«When I first heard it, it was just a demo with piano and singing. It was difficult to imagine what kind of touch Aerosmith could put on it and make it our own... As soon as we began playing it as a band, then it instantly became an Aerosmith song.»
