Jim Croce
Jim Croce’s second and last No. 1 hit, issued as a single after he died in a plane crash in 1973. The lyrics with their message of time lost were too eerie for the record label to leave alone…
From the 1972 album You Don’t mess Around with Jim which saw its sales jump after Croce passed away in 197...
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Time in a Bottle was written by Jim Croce.
Time in a Bottle was produced by Tommy West & Terry Cashman.
IMO, it’s more about lost time for love.
