Time In A Bottle

Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface

[originally by Jim Croce]



If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that Id like to do

Is to save every day

Till eternity passes away

Just to spend them with you



If I could make days last forever (forever)

If words could make wishes come true

Id 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

Ive looked around enough to know

That youre 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 (Once you find them)

Ive looked around enough to know

That youre the one I want to go

Through time with (Through time with)
