Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing


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
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, 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
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
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
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
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
'Cause 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
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

I hear ya! The Bee Gees are responsible for some of the most "emotional" songs of all-time.Do you remember the song "Desire"(1980) which they wrote and produced for their brother Andy? Or "Heartbreaker"(1982) which they wrote and produced for Dionne Warwick?

DavidEye said:

Heartbreaker i know (hard to imagine who doesn't) but i'm not familiar with Desire. However, i want to pick up a best of Andy Gibb simply for the song Shadow Dancing ('cos it's ace) so hopefully it'll be on there.

One of my faves... it brought a tear 2 my eye when I 1st heard it... beautifully written, beautifully sung...

"I'll Be" by Edwin McCain

- How Could An Angel Break My Heart-Toni Braxton

I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me

How could an angel break my heart
Wh didn't he catch may falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

From ur posts alone, I think u r one of the cutest orgers ever...

"Don't Leave Me this Way"Thelma Houston,"I Really don't need no Light too see"Jefferey Osbourne,"Never knew Love like this Before"Stephanie Mills,"Olivia" The Whispers,"It was a Good Year" Frank Sinatra,I Wish it would Rain" THe Temptations

My saved list is a lot longer, but i narrowed it down 2 mostly "new"er-jacks that get so-so to no recognition. Anything in bold gets heavy rotation:

Reminiscing on THE ONE - As If We Never Met, Chante Moore; How Can I Ease the Pain, Lisa Fischer; No Other Love, Faith; I Hear Ur Voice, Patti LaBelle

Holding On 2 a LOVE that don't wanna B held on2 - For a Reason, Zhane; I Love U (More Than U'll Ever Know), Donny Hathaway; Fine & Mellow, Billie Holiday; Till the End of Time or Can't Let Go, Mariah Carey (when she sang from the gut!!!); My Lover's Prayer, Otis Redding; My Lover's Prayer, Otis Redding (YES. So nice, had 2 B mentioned twice)

Betwixt LUST & LOVE - U Move Me, Cassandra Wilson; Welcome, Maxwell; Inside My Love, Trina Broussard's version ("Love Jones" soundtrack); I Want the Night 2 Stay or I Who Have Nothing, Luther Vandross; Lover Man, Billie Holiday; Come Away With Me, Norah Jones; Ready 4 Love, India Irie

Brokenhearted 4 whatever reason - I'm Going Home, Marvin Gaye; Walking the Back Streets & Cryin', Little Milton (straight juke joint baby!!!); Crazy Baby, Joan Osborne; Know These Things: Shouldn't U, Maxwell; So Many Tears, Regina Belle; Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Rose Royce; Living All Alone, Phyllis Hyman

Uplifting - My Life, Mary J. Blige; Ye Yo, Erykah Badu; U're The Man, Marvin Gaye; Sometimes, Bilal (i think i'm the only one on this board who digs this guy)

Empathy - Piece of Clay, Marvin Gaye; Leviticus:Faggot, Me'Shell Ndegeocello

Peace of Mind - Angel, Sarah McLachlan; Case of U, Joni Mitchell; I Care 4 U, Aaliyah

Gumbo (with each) - I Almost Lost U, Rosie Gaines

There's sure 2 B hundreds more...some sexy mutha on this board told me 2 get down with some Bjork so i'm sure she belongs somewhere on this list.
Others have already been mentioned; and, of course, there are too many Prince songs 2 even begin.
PEACE

Ain't it the truth?
U reminded me of a bunch of people i forgot...tricky? hella yeah...i'll have 2 check out these songs on ur list.
ONE LOVE

One song that ALWAYS chokes me up is Kissing You by Desiree (from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack). It's so sparse & simple, so fucking gorgeous. I sing along w/ it & I'm all emotional by the second verse! You really FEEL that song, it's beautiful...

"The Sweetest Thing" by Lauryn Hill (1997) from the "Love Jones" movie soundtrack.


For some reason,I get all emotional when I hear it.

I write the songs&Can't Smile without You Barry Manilow.
