                If I could save time in a bottle 
                    Gm6                          A7 
                The first thing that I'd like to do 
                      Dm         Dm7      Bm       Gm7    Dm 
                Is to save every day till eternity passes away 
                        Gm              A7 
                Just to spend them with you. 

                   Dm           Dm(maj7)  Dm7    Dm6 
                If I could make days last forever 
                    Gm6                          A7 
                If words could make wishes come true 
                      Dm         Dm7      Bm       Gm7    Dm 
                I'd save every day like a treasure and then 
                        Gm              A7 
                Again, I would spend them with you. 


                          D              Dmaj7 
               But there never seems to be enough time 
                  D6                D                   G       Gmaj7 
               To do the things you want to do Once you find them 
               Em7  A7      D             Dmaj7 
               I've looked around enough to know 
                    D6               D                  G         Gmaj7 Em7 A7 
               That you're the one I want to go through time with. 


                   Dm          Dm(maj7) Dm7    Dm6 
                If I had a box just for wishes 
                    Gm6                        A7 
                And dreams that had never come true 
                    Dm           Dm7   Bm             Gm7    Dm 
                The box would be empty except for the memory 
                       Gm             
                Of how they were answered by you
