                If I could save time in a bottle  
                    Gm6                          A7  
                The first thing that I'd like to do  
                      Dm         Dm7      Bb/D       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      Bb/D       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   Bb/D             Gm7    Dm  
                The box would be empty except for the memory  
                       Gm7                
                Of how they were answered by you  
  
                (CHORUS)
