[D] If I [C#] could save [C] time in a bottle,
[G] [E] the first thing that [B] I'd like to do,
[Gm] [D] is to save [F] every
day [E] till eternity passes [Dm] away, [Gm] just to spend them [A] with [G] you.
[A] [Dm] If I could make days [C] last forever,
[G] [A#] if words could make [A] wishes come true,
[D]
I'd save [F] every day [Gm] like a treasure and then, [Dm] again, [Gm] I would spend them [A] with you.
[D] But there never [F#m] seems to be enough [Bm] time to do the things [D] you want to do [G] once you find them.
[D] I've [Em]
[A] [D] looked around [F#m] enough to know [Bm] you're the one [D] I want to go [G] through time [D] with.

the box would [F] be empty [Gm] except for the memory [Dm] of how they [Gm] were answered by you.
