I Don't Want To Miss A Thing Written by: Dianne Warren Recorded by Mark Chesnutt on "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" and Aerosmith on "The Armageddon Soundtrack" Transcribed by: Donny Haltom I think Mark plays it in . VERSE: 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 CHORUS: I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause I'd miss you 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 (hold) And I don't wanna miss a thing VERSE II Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what your dreaming Wondering if it's me your seeing And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together I just wanna stay with you In this moment forever CHORUS BRIDGE: 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 CHORUS I think that's pretty close, at least that's the way I play it. Let me know if there's any corrections. This is a great version of a great song. It was originally written for Barbara Streisand, but I like it anyway.
