Lyrics

I could (D)stay a wake (A)just to hear you (Bm7)breath ing,

watch you (G)smile while you are (D)sleep ing, while you’re (Em7)far a way and dream ing.

I could (D)spend my life (A)in this sweet sur (Bm7)ren der.

I could (G)stay lost in this (D)mo ment for (Em7)ev er.

Ev ’ry mo ment (F#m7)spent with you is a mo ment I (Asus)treas ure.

Don’t wan na close my eyes,

don’t wan na fall a sleep, ’coz I’d (G)miss you, ba by, and I don’t wan na (A)miss a thing.

’Coz e ven when I (A)dream of you,

the sweet est dream would nev er do.

I’d still (G)miss you ba by, and I don’t wan na (A)miss a thing.

Lay ing (D)close to you, (A)feel ing your heart (Bm7)beat ing,

and I’m (G)won d’ring what you’re dream ing, won d’ring (Em7)if it’s me you’re see ing.

Then (D)I kiss your eyes and (A)thank God we’re to (Bm7)geth er.

I just wan na (F#m7)stay with you in this mo ment for ev er, for ev er and ev er.

I don’t wan na (C)miss one smile;

I don’t wan na (G)miss one kiss.

I just wan na (Bb)be with you, right here with you, (F)just like this.

I just wan na (C)hold you close,

feel your heart so (G)close to mine,

and just (Dm7)stay here in this mo ment for all the (Asus)rest of time.

(A)Ba by, ba by.

Don’t wan na close my eyes,

don’t wan na fall a sleep, ’coz I’d (G)miss you, ba by, and I don’t wan na (A)miss a thing.

’Coz e ven when I (A)dream of you,

the sweet est dream would nev er do.

I’d still (G)miss you, ba by, and I don’t wan na (A)miss a thing.

Don’t wan na close my eyes,

’Coz e ven when I (A)dream of you,

the sweet est dream would nev er do.

I’d still (G)miss you, ba by, and I don’t wan na (A)miss a thing.

Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
