I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.

Wednesday, July 7, 2010 2:02:28 AM

I often have no idea where a thought originated from for me. But this one has been in my head all day. It is a classic, imho.

Following the lyrics, for those that are interested, there is a video of an interview. During the interview, at the 3:56 mark, something is said.

I saw an interview with Ms. Warren in which she stated that it was this comment in this interview that inspired her to write this song.

Learning that gave me a whole new perspective of this song. And an even greater appreciation of the creative abilities of the songwriter.

I hope you enjoy.

Till Next Time,
Gramps

I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Songwriters: Diane Eve Warren

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
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

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 want to 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
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 want to miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile, I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this
I just want to 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
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to 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 want to miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
Yeah, I don't wanna miss a thing

Happy Birthday USA

To embed the video, I think you need to paste the following:

Thanks.

Did it not show up correctly the first time?

Deb Plattdebplatt # Wednesday, July 7, 2010 2:50:07 AM

No. Only part of the embeded code was there. If you didn't change anything, maybe the whole thing didn't download last time I visited because I can see it now.

With that said, the sentiment conveyed is lovely; however, I have a hard time getting past my personal dislike of Barbara Streisand. She's got a beautiful voice, but her politics are diametrically opposed to mine... probably.

Coloneldale # Wednesday, July 7, 2010 3:08:17 AM

I can "probably"

deal with that.

I just copied and pasted the code you had posted over the old code, so I'm really not sure if it changed any thing or not.

As far as Babs goes, the post is meant to be about the lyrics and poetry of the song. As well as the inspiration and talent of the song writer. A comment that Babs made just happened to be the source of that inspiration, in this particular instance.

Technically I guess it was Jimmy who was the original source of inspiration. And you "probably" thought he was hot on Marcus Welby M.D.

But I also agree that there are many talented entertainers out there whom I could enjoy the work of much more if they would keep their politics to themselves.

I really like this song. Great lines.

Coloneldale # Wednesday, July 7, 2010 4:19:43 AM

me too, Star

I remember being there.

I love this song.
Never knew how it came about.
Interesting.

I don't think I'm familiar with the song, but I love that line he gave her. Very sweet and tender.

Dale, sorry I haven't commented before, I've just had a lot of things going on and didn't get around to it till tonight. I think I'm going to try to find the song on YouTube---I might remember the melody. Many times I know a song by it's music but not its' words or title.

I remember how skeptical I was when I heard about this romance, and then that they were to marry. This marriage was given 2 minutes by someone, can't remember who, but someone like Whoopi Goldberg or one of The View stinkers.

Are they STILL married? Have heard nothing about them in forever.

L2D2 # Sunday, July 18, 2010 8:49:18 AM

Just curious, why do you have two of the same video embedded?

Aha! Aerosmith. One of my favorite groups. They really do ballads very well. This was beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Dale.

Not sure how it got there twice. It was only there once originally. And the code is only in the post once.

No need to apologize there. I know, from reading the updates, that you spend a lot of time just trying to keep up with the comments on your own posts. Add in your writing of new post, visiting the post of friends and then there is that whole tinkering with code thing that you like to do.....whew, this just became a full time job, with overtime, for you.

But thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

And I must admit, I do a lot of reading without taking the time to comment myself.

Just know that you are welcome to stop by anytime you can.

I just noticed that this appears to have happened to my July 3 post as well.

Any suggestions? I am really uneducated on most of this computer stuff. I do run Windows XP, and I do all of my OC stuff through my Opera browser or Mini Opera if I am on my iTouch.

It's a bug in the server, so you'll just have to wait for the My Opera Devs to fix it!

Gramps... It is very great... romantic...I love it...

Coloneldale # Friday, July 23, 2010 11:04:33 AM

Thank You.

Aadil is right. Everyone's videos was posting twice, but I guess they have it fixed now. I think you are back to one.

Actually, I am spending more time away than I have been. I love having my friends and visitors talk to me and have fun on my blog, but it's true that I started having a bit of trouble keeping up. I used to stay at it until I had gone through every notification, but now, I just can't. I always have many left over till the next day.

And I do spend a lot of time on my computer learning new Linux stuff. I'm subscribed to your blog now, so I'll be notified anytime you have a new post or new comments.

TeresiaThere2ia # Sunday, July 25, 2010 8:55:49 AM

Linda, I can't keep up with any notification in a day but the main reason here is how we can keep the relationship...
