I recently heard Jim Croce singing Time in a Bottle on the radio, for the first time in a long time. Beautiful lyrics.
There are lots of things I’d like to save in a bottle, to keep safe, take out and experience all over again.
The smiles of my children through the ages. Sunsets and dramatic skies. Those head-over-heels in love moments. Time. Giggles. Cuddles and hugs. Purple. Precious moments with ones we’ve lost. The way hospitals used to smell. A rainbow. The first movements of a child inside me. Love. So much more…
Here are the lyrics to the Jim Croce song…
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d 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
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
365 Days of Purpleness
