Keeping an Eye on Time

Time in Song - #3




I love the conflict of hope in the face of defeat in Jim Croce's song Time in a Bottle. This song, released in 1973 helped influence me to compose an anthlogy I titled The Fountain of Youth.

Here is #3 in my Time in Song countdown  - Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle.




Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce circa 1973


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
