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
