Lyrics
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

  1. The gun sits on the table at my side, barrel staring at me with the cold indifference of a snake. I listen to this song, wondering where it all went wrong, whiskey singing along in an an unbearable harmony…Time in a bottle of cold comfort. The gun makes its way into my hand without understanding of how it got there…Is it loaded? I don't know and I don't care. I just want the pain of this world to stop…

  5. Literally this song makes me realise how i spend 2 years of my life thinking about my fucking height insecurity . Now i am 20 and will get into colledge . Didnt get neet 2 times . At those intervals of work i thought about the time i lost thinking about my height as everyone pointed out always during my neet preparations they were in a notion why a short guy like me be a doctor . Like wtf knowledge matters not how u look . I wasted thinking about what i cant change . Now i am worried why i lost those years thinking i could have worked more hard . Still this song reminds me evrytime that i am doing wrong again thinking about the past . So i will move on life is too short to worry about baseless unchangeable things . Do what u like i want to be a doc its my dream i will be if it cost hours of work besides my colledge . I cant take anymore drop . I have to get what i love and work hardrr

  7. Today was my eighth grade formal dance, I spent the final moments of one of the last days I see my friends, all alone, trying not to get in the way. If I could save time in a bottle, I would save every day till eternity ends just to spend them with my friends. I’m gonna miss them

  10. Had a coworker counting down the days till his retirement. He had less than 30.

    We were getting worked 8+hrs and he'd caught a double shift.

    Couldn't believe the news when someone told me he dozed off heading home.😢

    Spent like 2 months, turning to say something to a ghost.
    Miss that old b@$tard.

  17. Me sugirió mi hijo guardar todos mis recuerdos de programas de tv, de musica en un dispositivo, no tecuerdo como se llama, tiene gran capacidad, no es un simple pendrive, en el puedo poner detalles como el motivo de mi recuerdo.
    Pq mi ❤ se quebranta con algunas canciones?
    No se trata de de la cancion o la película, se trata de quien estaba a mi lado, con quien comparti está música.
    Esta cancion es el tema de una pelicula que amamos forever mi hermana y yo.
    Si no lloro, el corazon se me contrae , pero no pasa inadvertida.

  19. My Poppy played and dedicated this song to my Mimi, when we laid her to rest this passed Saturday. I have always loved this song, and Jim. Now it has a whole different, bittersweet meaning. ❤️ Rest in Peace our bestest Mimi 🕊❤️🙏
