  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
