I'd like to stay up but I
Got to get some shut eye
I can't afford to miss this dream

I really need the sleepin'
For dream date I'll be keeping
I can't afford to miss this dream

Last night, the preacher was there
The quiet scene
The air was filled with charm
And what I mistook for the church bell
Was that blinkity blank alarm

Well, tonight
If I sleep restful
You know I was successful
I'm really not as crazy as I seem
I just can't afford to miss this dream

Yes, if I sleep restful
You know I was successful
I'm really not as crazy as I seem
I just can't afford to miss this, yes
I can't afford to miss this dream
