Letra de
Time In a Bottle

La canción Time in a Bottle fue escrita por Jim Croce en 1970 después de descubrir que su esposa, Ingrid, estaba embarazada con su hijo, Adrian James (A.J.). Croce quería capturar la emoción de tener tan poco tiempo y tantas cosas que quería hacer con su hijo. Trágicamente, Jim Croce murió en un accidente aéreo en 1973 antes de ver el éxito de la canción.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do - play riff in reg time
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.
Intro Riff again

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do - play riff in reg time
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
