Time in a Bottle

By Jim Croce

If I could save time in a bottle
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

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

  • He loves it too!

    Since I was a young girl and first heard this song play on the radio I have loved it. Jim sings you feel the love he is referring to, peaceful and respectful with deep adoration.
    My boyfriend and I were sixteen years old when we first met(but never dated,life took us in very different directions and countries for many years at 33 both still single and childless we reconnected. Falling in love was unexpected and completely wonderful. Two nights ago (almost 18 months later) while cooking dinner together he left the kitchen quickly to turn up a song he "loved". Hearing the song my heart jumped. As we danced and sang softly to each other, he told me that this was the song he had always pictured dancing to with his bride at their wedding.
    What he didn't know at that moment is that I had recently purchased a "Thinking of You” card and printed out the words to this song inside it. There is no official engagement between us yet, but we are talking very openly about our future plans together which do include marriage and us dancing to this song in front of our loved ones.

  • My Wedding

    This is actually the song that my husband and I danced to at our wedding. It's always been our song. It's so simple and sweet- I just love it

    I had this song in my wedding almost 31 years ago. My husband passed away one week before our 17th wedding anniversary, at only 42 years old. The song is still dear to my heart.
