Lyrics
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
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
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 baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
What a beautiful way to say “I treasure you. I value our time together!”
Get as good at "being" as you are at "doing"
When we learn how to settle into the moment, we can awaken to how rich our life is now. In the present we can find the enjoyment, connection, and meaning that we have been searching for all along. Getting better at "being" can in turn enhance our experience of "doing" things as we can feel more engaged and fulfilled in the process.
When was the last time you had a beautiful moment with your sweetheart, loved one or self? What was that moment like?
A perfect moment can be a special experience with others that’s full of the present, when time seems to stand still. It can be a time of heightened awareness and focused attention, when distractions and interruptions are intentionally excluded. Some say that a perfect moment can feel like a "nirvana-like" awareness, and can leave a person with a sense of peaceful understanding and clarity about the world around them. Others have described this heightened awareness as a slowing of time, or an amplification of the senses, where a second can feel like a minute, hearing becomes more acute, and sight is expanded.
Lyrics
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
I don't wanna miss one smile
And I don't wanna miss one kiss
And I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
And I just wanna hold you close
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
“I just wanna hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine, and just stand here in this moment for the rest of time”. Ah…the strength that comes from such a strong connection!
The song was met with some critical reception.
Wikipedia states; "Armageddon" shows the enduring rock troupe happily giving in to the romance of superstar tunesmith Diane Warren's sweet tune—but with an appropriate dash of guitar-juiced melodrama. Steven Tyler's signature belting is so intensely over the top that he frequently seems to be shrieking. It's a high-voltage performance that is matched by a collision of rock-styled instrumentation and grand, faux-classical orchestration.
Regardless of how it was received, it is still the perfect love song prior to a goodbye. The song is Aerosmith’s only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Look at life with new, spiritual eyes.
That way you have a life that is rich, interesting, and full of beauty. In a movie called “Can’t buy me love” a nerd was dating a cheerleader and they were looking at the moon. The cheerleader thought the moon was pretty. The nerd taught her interesting facts around the moon. The cheerleader was blown away and thought she would never look at the moon the same again. She could see more beauty because she knew more about it.
Life is like that, you can see more beauty when you learn to ask deeper questions. Everything in the world is a symbol of some deep principle, some character trait of God. If you look at a red, red rose and every poetic heart says that it reminds them of love and passion. It also has thorns on it, and the pedals are so fragile you have to handle it gently. If you are careful, and nurture it, the rose will last longer, it will give off one of the most beautiful sights and scents. We’ve concluded that nature has a lot to teach us. Most of the lessons we don’t notice.
Think about this…
Have you ever experienced a poignant moment when all the love, gratitude, and hope you had ever known was at a fever pitch?
Can you describe that moment?
Can you share it with your sweetheart?
