🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 'Cause I'd miss you, babe
  • And I don't want to miss a thing
  • 'Cause even when I dream of you
  • The sweetest dream will never do

Echo the hook

  • I don't want to close my eyes
  • I don't want to fall asleep
  • 'Cause I'd miss you, babe
  • And I don't want to miss a thing
wantdon'tmiss
