Aerosmith también tocó el tema de la ausencia en esta "No quiero perderme nada", cuya letra dice que "podría permanecer despierto sólo para oírte respirar / verte sonreír mientras duermes / mientras estás lejos y soñando", porque "cada momento que paso contigo es un momento que atesoro". En una palabra: hay que guardar cada momento que uno pase con los seres amados antes de su inevitable partida.
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, When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure, (Chorus) I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep, Cause I'd miss you babe, 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 babe, 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, And then I kiss your eyes, And thank God we're together, I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, Forever and ever. (Chorus) And 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, Well I just wanna hold you close, And 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 (Chorus repeated 2 times) Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah I don't wanna miss a thing
