about

Eclectic and soulful, Deja Belle delivers a 1960's ska-inspired rendition of Aerosmith’s top-charting power ballad, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.” This upbeat track is reminiscent of the late singer Amy Winehouse’s island-esque song, “Just Friends,” featuring reggae rim shots, ska guitar strums and breezy vocals. It also features an overlay of infectious and melodic vocal harmonies.

Marking the 20 year anniversary of the No. 1 hit record, Deja Belle’s version is available for free download until the end of the year. Longtime collaborator Matty the Chef recorded, mixed and produced the song. Listen to more of his music at mattythechef.com and don’t miss out on adding this song to your playlist today!

lyrics

VERSE 1
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

CHORUS
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

VERSE 2
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

CHORUS
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

BRIDGE ( REPEAT 2X)
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

CHORUS
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

VAMP
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
And I miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
And I'd still miss you, baby
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
