  • 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 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

    He wrote this when he found out his wife was pregnant.. he wrote it for his soon to be son... He died when his son was only 13 months old.. scary thing is the song is about not having enough time with his son... Gives one chills

    A little backstory Jim Croce wrote this song when he was 30 before he died as part of an album but when he died the album was incomplete so it was released as a single... And it became his greatest hit RIP Jim

      Actually it was a little different. This song was part of Jim's first album, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", but was not released as a single and was not a hit, much as it deserved to be both those things. Then he released his second LP, the one with "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" on it, and there may have been one more hit song on that LP, so no one was thinking about going back to the first LP at that point to find a hit, until some movie producers picked "Time In a Bottle" as the perfect song for their TV movie, "She Lives", about a young woman dying of cancer. They had gone to their local record store and bought a stack of pop LP's in hopes of finding the right song for their movie, and sat down and listened to them all, and when they heard "Time In a Bottle", they knew they had their song. On the night the movie aired (sometime in late summer 1973), TV stations got tons and tons of calls from people who had seen "She Lives", asking where they could get the record. And it was about one month later that Jim died in that plane crash. After a long time of plugging away as an under-recognized performer, he had one year of great success, topped off by this song.

    My big brother was so protective of me and always looked after me growing up, even into adulthood. He spent his entire life alone. And then, in his 50’s, he got cancer. Having nobody to care for him and facing homelessness and cancer I moved him in with me to care for him. During that final 2 years of his life, he shared so many family memories with me and taught me so much, especially about God. Before he left this world, he left a folder on his computer for me to find after he’d gone. It contained a lot of his favorite music. Very personal songs that made him think of his family, and many of which reminded him of his baby brother. This was one of those songs.
    I’m 56 now. The same age my brother was when I lost him 8 years ago. This song will forever remind me of Tony. Man, I wish I could have just one more day with him.

We will be rejoined with our loved ones and our ancestors, and we will feast and rejoice and be at peace. I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain you have endured, but always remember you will see him again one day, and you won't be sad any more on that day. Much love to you, stay strong, my friend.

      Time in a bottle was written by Jim Croce for his one year old son, and then one month later, he dies in a plane crash, and now the only memory he has of his father is his song, made for him.
      Jim made a song about how much he loves his son, and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with him, and then dies a month later.

He was about to say his wedding vows to dareem when he got the news and burst into tears. There wasn’t much they could do to comfort him, so Otto just sat down by him and started singing this song to him. He felt comforted and smiled at him for this comfort. He then picked himself up and did the vows so Dareem could do hers. Now that he’s gone from multi organ failure, he still remembers this song. Thank you for this song, Jim Croce. You’ll never be forgotten.
