save time ～

这是 jim croce 写给儿子的歌，1970 年底当妻子告诉他怀孕的消息，经常在外演出的 jim croce 深感内疚，于是创作了歌曲 time in a bottle（时光宝瓶）；这首歌收录在 1972 年发布的第 3 张专辑里，当时没有作为单曲发行，直至他于 1973 年 9 月 20 因飞机失事去世后，ABC 唱片公司于同年 11 月才发行了单曲版，这首歌成为他第 2 首也是最后一首 billboard hot 100 冠军单曲。 （百度百科资料）

time in a bottle
if I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save everyday 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 everyday 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 looked around enough to know
that you're the one I want to go thru 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 looked around enough to know
that you're the one I want to go thru time with
