Time in a Bottle

Glen Campbell

This song was originally sung by Jim Croce, but I couldn't find a good version with him singing. Glen was also a very popular singer, with a very mellow voice. If you need help understanding the lyrics, they are printed below.

Lyrics

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is 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

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
