Run gulp watch command forever

Question

gulp.task('css', function () {
    gulp.src('custom_css/sass/style.scss')
        .pipe(sass({
            style: 'compressed'
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/css/'));
});

gulp.task('watch', function() {
  gulp.watch('custom_css/sass/style.scss', ['css']);
});

gulp.task('default', ['css','watch']);

this is my gulp script code. when I run gulp in the terminal it start watching for changes, auto compile sass file, but it stop watching if I closed the terminal window. I have also used gulp & to run it in background but not working so what is the proper way to auto compile it every time when I am make chages in the saas file.
