这首歌是《Time in a Bottle》。1972 年，歌手 Jim Croce 在得知妻子怀孕后，当晚写下这首歌献给妻子和未出的生孩子。这一年，越战还在打，但同时尼克松访华，美苏也签署了限制战略武器协议，冷战有所缓和。所以，这首歌所表达情感是：一个身处动荡年代的人，希望留住与家人相处的时间。
可惜，1973 年 9 月，年仅 30 岁的 Jim Croce 就因空难去世。这首歌随后作为单曲发行。
If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til 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 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 tombkeeper的微博视频
