If I could save time in a bottle,
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Until 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…
„Time in a bottle“ napisao je Jim Croce. Nalazi se na njegovom albumu „You don’t mess around with Jim“ objavljenom 1972. godine. Predivna pesma nastala u momentu kada je saznao da mu je supruga trudna.
Nažalost, Jim Croce je poginuo u avionskoj nesreći sledeće godine. Izdavačka kuća koja je objavila pomenuti album, nije imala nameru da pesmu izda kao singl. I kako se to neretko dešava, uradila je to dva meseca nakon tog tragičnog događaja.
