“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” was Aerosmith’s first number one song. It was featured in the movie Armageddon, which starred Steven Tyler’s daughter, Liv Tyler. U2 was originally asked to perform this song for the movie—the idea for Aerosmith performing it only came after Liv was cast.

[Verse 1]
I could stay awake just to hear you breathin'
Watch you smile while you are sleepin'
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]
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 (Even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
[Verse 2]
Lying close to you, feelin' your heart beating
And I'm wonderin' what you're dreamin'
Wonderin' if it's me you're seein'
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
[Chorus]
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 (Even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
[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
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Don't wanna close my eyes
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 (Even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
[Chorus]
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 would never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
[Outro]
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

I was scared shitless. I heard the song, and I was like, we can’t do this. This is too embarrassing, I can’t handle this idea. [laughs] But, that was kind of my knee-jerk response. It worked… And we worked with producer Matt Serletic on it, who was very good at understanding that the song had to sou...

According to The Billboard Book Of Number One Hits, Warren said:
I saw some of the scenes [of Armegeddon], especially the end where Bruce Willis' character dies. There was more emotion than usual for Jerry [Bruckheimer]’s movies; it was very touching. So I wrote ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’. I’d...
“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” is certfied Platinum by the RIAA:
Again, it was a title I had and I was shown the end of the movie [Armageddon]. I met with Jerry Bruckheimer. Remember, he said he wasn’t gonna work with me ever again, a year before? He changed his mind. So I went back and wrote the song. And never in a million years thought Aerosmith would do it. I...
