I don't wanna close my eyes.....
One of my most favourite songs
and it’s my birthday tomorrow so I get to choose the song! :)

I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing
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, baby
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, 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 forever, forever and ever
I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, baby
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, baby
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
I don’t wanna miss one smile
I don’t wanna miss one kiss
Well, 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 in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, baby
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
‘Cause I’d still miss you, baby
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, baby
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, baby
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don’t wanna miss a thing
I don’t wanna miss a thing![]()

billyboy
Awesome. This is like the morning after your mesmerizing session with the cosmos 19 days ago in front of this same window… the magical experiences of those lost days having given you your own cosmic glow that radiates the air around you with your new found sensuality and freedom from the bounds of your previous existence. And now you’re afraid to close your eyes for one second that you might miss even a fragment of the pleasure of passion that is now yours…
Tracey, aside from the fact that you put that image in my head with your amazing talent and choice of the perfect song (from the group that has come to be my rock bible!), this picture blows me away purely as an artwork. Again, your silhouetting is outlined by threads of light which illuminate all that is sensual… especially dig what it does to your hair and the contours of your face…
But what I am most amazed about is the way you frame it with such delicate tones and textures that so enhance the feeling of warmth and sensuality.
I love the way you tell me this story and bring me into your soul through these two images, my two faves from all your work to date. I haven’t even said enough…
xox
Tracey Mac replied
Billy
There’s no way I am ever gonna close my eyes if it means I’m going to miss any passion….......so looks like I better glue them open, cause that’s preferable to missing a single second…..
I love your comments, cause they kinda make me relook again at what I’ve done, so that I see the image from yet another perspective, and that it’s your perspective…..means so much to me…...
Thank you again for a such a beautiful comment…........you know how much that means to me
Love and Hugs
xoxox
