Time In A Bottle
~ Jim Croce ~
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
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 every day 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 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
I have Ioved this song since I heard it on an old 8 track .... always a favorite.....and I may have sent the lyrics to my then boyfriend, now husband in a mist of teenage twitterpation..... good memories!
ReplyDeleteI bet I had it on an 8 track too! When I watched this video it made an even bigger impact since the clips are Jim Croce with his family...and he died so young.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen that video, and I guess I didn't realize he died so young either. I remember back in the 80's about every wedding had this song. ;}
