This song makes me think of sitting on the beach while someone I loved deeply at the time sung it to me
One of my favorite Muppet Show skits ever.
Transcendenc e of one's soul, for us to experience. I love this song.

For my John. This song is forever
Classic.
This song makes my heart twist up into a pretzel for some reason.

Great song
So pretty... ♥
This is such a nice song, melancholy but true. I've looked around enough to know that you're the one I wanna go through time with!
Can you say the ultimate universal theme song.
Bravo. what lyrics...cla s s i c ! ! ! !
Very true Dreamscape! Still makes me think of the Hangover 2 now when I hear this. LOL Great, great tune by a great songwriter! RIP Jim Croce.

All the regrets of life.....
First time I heard this song it sounded very weird. Go figure.
I like how the melody changes from haunting (if I could save time in a bottle) to upbeat (but there never seems to be enough time...). What a nice song with very true lyrics.
Fantastic lyrics from a great storyteller who was taken from us much too soon.
Hangover 2
Jim Croce touches the heart now as he did then.
Another song etched into memory by my teacher, Tracy Armstrong. He taught a love of poetry through song and this became one of my favorites.
wish i had someone to spend time with great song
long time no hear
But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them...so poignant.
A poet of my generation

What a wonderful, talented poet. He is greatly missed. "But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them". HOW TRUE!
he was born in nyc too. loved jim croces music a lot and i love it out here in Colorado.
Extraordinar i a cancion...no existe suficiente tiempo, el tiempo y el se tuercen. Bueno, al menos eso pienso...se van por distintos caminos: el de la eternidad (el tiempo ) y el de la fugacidad ( el amor ).

Jim Croce was a great songwriter. We lost him way too soon.
Amazing song, such great lyrics.
Love this song. Jim Croce is really good.
The man knew how to get to the truth in a hurry. Wow!
I spent countless hours listening to this song in high school, dreaming of the girl who broke my heart. It took a couple of years, and I got over her, but man does this song take me instantly back to age 17!
I was in the first grade or there abouts, when this song first came out, and it brings back memories of warm summer days in the sun :)
This song reminds of the wishes that I had made as a young man that never got my chance to see them through because there were too many to honor and I just wound up running out of time. So this song is an anthem to my wishes and to those who have the same wishes. Make your wishes early and make sure they come true or they'll never see the light of day.
this song is our first song 35 years ago and we still love it

This is one of the greatest love songs ever written...an d Croce put everything into this one....
