I don't wanna miss a thing...

if there is one love song that really pierces my heart, and can make me teary in an instant, it is the song "i don't wanna miss a thing" by aerosmith... yeah, you'd be surprised as i am no way a rock band fan...

maybe it's the wonderfully laid down words... very poignant, very real...

or maybe it was the way it was sang...very intense, very captivating...


I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, 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, babe
And I don't wanna 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 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 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
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time


or maybe, it is the sweet remembrance of that someone... very nostalgic, very touching...

i guess all of the above...
