TIME IN A BOTTLE- Jim Croce
If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I`d like to do Is to save every day `til 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 every day like a treasure and then again I would spend them with you
CHORUS: But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do once you find them I`ve looked around enough to know that You`re the one I want to 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 ...CHORUS
