If I could save time in a bottle,  
    G                C          G         C  
The first thing that I'd like to do  
    G                C         G         C  
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away  
    G                C          G       C  
Just to spend them with you.  

If I could make days last forever,  
    G                C          G         C  
If words could make wishes come true,  
    G                C          G         C  
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,  
    G                C          G       C  
Again, I would spend them with you.  

   G         C      G            C  
But there never seems to be enough time  
    G             C       G         C  
To do the things you want to do once you find them.  
    G         C      G            C  
I've looked around enough to know  
     G           C       G           C  
That you're the one I want to go through time with.  

If I had a box just for wishes,  
    G                C          G         C  
And dreams that had never come true,  
    G                C          G         C  
The box would be empty except for the memory of  
    G                C          G       C  
How they were answered by you.
