Jim Croce - Time in a bottle - 1973

Thank you my friend Maj Robert Thornton for sharing the music video of Jim Croce singing his wonderful ballad Time in a bottle
He was a marvelous songwriter and performer whose timeless songs are as fresh today as when he first performed them: Operator; Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
Rest in eternal peace Jim Croce

Time in a bottle by Jim Croce
"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…"

Loved his story songs. Agree, he left us too soon.

In my opinion this is one of the best love songs ever, I had this played for my wife on our 40th anniversary.
