Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle
(1972)
If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save everyday till eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save everyday like a treasure and then
again I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
to do the things you wanna do once you find them
I looked around enough to know
that you're the one I wanna go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
and dreams that had never come true
the box would be empty except for the memory of how
they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
to do the things you wanna do once you find them
I looked around enough to know
that your the one I wanna go thru time with
