I feel guilty having those type of feelings about my nephew, but I know exactly what you mean... When this song was released, I immediately thought of my YF who sometimes slept with me. I wrote a about it earlier this year on this board using lyrics from the song you mentioned: I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. Here's part of that post: Here's a song by Aerosmith that was released around the time I had to leave my YF and his mother. I loved watching him sleep, so peaceful and beautiful. Innocent. I never stared for long. He was too sacred for me to indulge too long in his beauty. This is how I felt about him... 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 Well, every moment spent with you Is a moment I treasure 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 |
