Time in a Bottle

Yesterday right in the middle of the frozen foods aisle at Kroger's, I was transported back to 1974. They were playing Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle and I instantly found myself thinking of that young teenage girl who used to play this record over and over. Yes, I realize I am dating myself here especially with the record reference. It was a record, not a CD, not a cassette, not even an eight track but an old fashion record. And I remembered all the lyrics and how they touched the heart of a over dramatic teenage girl and I loved standing there listening to it until someone came over the intercom and announced something and then I was annoyed because I wanted to hear the whole thing without interruption. LOL Here are some of the lyrics to the song:



If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do

Is to save everyday 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 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've looked around enough to know

That your the one I want to go through time with



If I had a box just for wishes

And dreams that would never come true

The box would be empty except for the memory

Of how they were answered by you



Such a beautiful song and lyrics. I don't have my Jim Croce record anymore. My sweetie sold all of my records at a garage sale for $10.00 years ago(bad sweetie) LOL. I even had Carol King's Tapestry record which has another one of my favorites from back then called It's too Late, loved that song also. So I was wondering, what song or songs take you back to a time in your life?
