If I could save time in a bottle

5    -4    -4    -4  -4   5   -5  5  
the first thing that I-d like to do

5  5   5   -5 5   5 
is to save every day
 
 -5  5 6 -5 5  -4 5  -5 5
-til eternity passes away

 5   5   -4    4    -4   5
just to spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time

4  5   6    6     6   -6  6  6
to do the things you want to do

once you find them

I-ve looked around enough to know

 3     5     6   6  6  -6  6  5
that you-re the one I want to go 

  4      3    4
through time with 

6  5 -5  5  5   -5   5   5  5
If I had a box just for wishes

 5    -4    -4  -4  -4 5   -5   5
and dreams that had never come true

 5   5    5   5   5 5
the box would be empty

 5  6  -5   5  -4  5
except for the mem-ry

-5  5   -5   5    -4  4   -4  5
of how they were answered by you


If I could make days last forever 
if words could make wishes come true
I-d save ev-ry day like a treasure
and then again I would spend them with you
