I'm in the middle of the sweetest dream
 When I hear that clock calling me
 I wrestle with the feeling
 That the day's starting way too soon
 I hit the button just to buy a little time
 To keep you in these arms of mine

 For another nine minutes
 Let the world stop
 Steal a few moments from this old clock
 'Cause this is my dream and I want to stay in it
 For another nine minutes

 I love the way the sunlight
 Dances on your perfect skin
 Girl, I wish this night would never end
 But we gotta get moving
 Can't eat if we don't get paid
 But I got us a better idea
 Let's pull up the covers and stay right here

 For another nine minutes
 Let the world stop
 Steal a few moments from this old clock
 'Cause this is my dream and I want to stay in it
 For another nine minutes

 I hit the button just one more time
 To keep you in these arms of mine

 For another nine minutes
 Let the world stop
 Steal a few moments from this old clock
 'Cause this is my dream and I want to stay in it
 For another nine minutes
 Let the world wait
 Whose gonan care if we're a little bit late
 This is my dream and I want to stay in it
