My Featured Song

I don't Want To Miss A Thing　ｂｙ  Aerosmith

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 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

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 

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever 

Forever and ever

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

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 

Feel your heart so close to mine 

And just stay here in this moment 

For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah

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

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

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

And I don't want to miss a thing

II. About the Songwriter

This song was Aerosmith's biggest hit, debuting at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for four weeks in September, and reaching number 1 in many countries around the world, including Australia, the Philippines, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

The chorus of the song is highly reminiscent of an earlier song Diane Warren co-wrote, "Just Like Jesse James", which appeared on Cher's 1989 album Heart of Stone.

The song helped open up Aerosmith to a new generation[2] and remains a slow dance staple.[3]

It was one of many songs written by Warren in that time period. The original version was a collaboration between Chicago musician Phil Kosch of Treaty of Paris and Super Happy Fun Club, and nephew of chart topping writer Lou Bega. Bega introduced the two and they penned the initial track, but ultimately Kosch was left uncredited.
The song is notable for having been nominated for both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song.
