Jim Croce - Time in a bottle - 1973

Having coffee at 3 AM and thought of 'Time in a bottle'

My clock is off again. Just like yesterday, I got up before 3 AM. While drinking my third cup of coffee and playing my games in Chess.com, I thought of a line from this song.

Per usual, I googled and played the YouTube video and googled the lyrics.  I used to save lyrics in a notepad text file on my laptop.  From time to time, I still do.

Might as well update the blog right?

Beautiful song.  Beautiful lyrics.  Thanks Jim Croce!

'Time in a bottle' with Lyrics

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

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
