Young and talented - that's me! And that was Billie.
The next band first performed back in 1970, 13 years before Billie was born.
This was recorded for TOTP. It's Aerosmith.
# 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 for ever
# Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
# I don't wanna close my eyes
# I don't wanna fall asleep
# Cos I'd miss you, baby
# And I don't wanna miss a thing
# Cos even when I dream of you
# The sweetest dream will never do
# I'd still miss you, baby, and I don't wanna 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
# And I just wanna stay with you
# In this moment for ever for ever and ever
# I don't wanna close my eyes
# I don't wanna fall asleep
# Cos I'd miss you, baby
# And I don't wanna miss a thing
# Cos even when I dream of you
# The sweetest dream will never do
# I'd still miss you, baby
# And I don't wanna 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 wanna hold you close
# Feel your heart so close to mine
# And just stay here at this moment for the rest of time
# Yeah, yeah
# Yeah!
