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 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 |

Operator, well could you help me place this call
See, the number on the match book is old and faded She's living in L.A With my best old ex-friend Ray A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated But isn't that the way they say it goes Well let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words Could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels Operator, well could you help me place this call 'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eyes You know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me But isn't that the way they say it goes Well let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words Could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels No, no, no, no That's not the way it feels Operator, well let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to Thank you for your time Ah, you've been so much more then kind You can keep the dime But isn't that the way they say it goes Well let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words Could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels |

Sometimes I think about our good old high school days
You would always kid about my adolescent ways Oh, Mary, Mary, good to see you too Haven't seen to many of the old crew The time just flew, and how are you? Strange we should meet here Seeing off our friends It's hard to draw the line between Beginnings and ends Oh, Mary, Mary, must you go so soon? We must be a sight to see Salon and Saloon I'll look you up soon Maybe sing you a tune |

Lazy days in mid-July
Country Sunday mornin's Dusty haze on summer highways Sweet magnolia callin' But now and then I find myself Thinkin' of the days That (when) we were walking in The Alabama rain Drive-in movies, Friday nights Drinkin' beer and laughin' Somehow things were always right I just don't know what happened We were only kids But then I've never heard it said That kids can't fall in love And feel the same I can still remember the first time I told you "I love you" On a dusty mid-July Country summer's evenin's Weepin' willows sang its lullaby And shared our secret Walking in the Alabama rain |

Don't you know I had a dream last night
That you were here with me Lyin' by my side so soft and warm And we talked a while And shared a smile And then we shared the dawn But when I woke up Oh, my dream it was gone Don't you know I had a dream last night And you were here with me Lyin' by my side so soft and warm And you said you'd thought it over You said you were coming home But when I woke up Oh, my dream it was gone I'm not the same Can you blame me Is it hard to understand I can't forget You can't change me I am not that kind of man Don't you know I had a dream last night And ev'rything was still And you were by my side so soft and warm And I dreamed that we were lovers In the lemon scented rain But when I woke up Oh, I found that again, I had been Dreamin', dreamin' again I had been dreamin,' dreamin' again |

Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
Icy windowpanes, Make me wish that we could be Together again And the windy winter avenues Just don't seem the same, And the Christmas carols sound like blues, But the choir is not to blame But it doesn't have to be that way What we had should never have ended I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus, Tinseled afternoons, And the sidewalk bands play their songs Slightly out of tune Down the windy winter avenues There walks a lonely man, And if I told you who he is, Well I think you'd understand But it doesn't have to be that way What we had should never have ended I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right No, it doesn't have to be that way What we had should never have ended I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right |

Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you. But what I gotta say can't wait, I know you'd understand. Every time I tried to tell you, The words just came out wrong, So I'll have to say I love you in a song. Yeah, I know it's kinda strange. Every time I'm near you, I just run out of things to say. I know you'd understand. Every time I tried to tell you, The words just came out wrong, So I'll have to say I love you in a song. Every time the time was right, All the words just came out wrong, So I'll have to say I love you in a song Yeah, I know it's kinda late. Hope I didn't wake you, But there's something I just gotta say. Know you'd understand. Every time I tried to tell you, The words just came out wrong So I'll have to say I love you in a song. |

I guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time Now I've come to my decision And its a-one of the painful kind 'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr Just a regular guy wouldn't do But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you You really gotta hand it to ya 'Cause girl you really tried But for ev'ry time that we spent laughin' There were two times that I cried And you were tryin' to make me your martyr And that's the one thing I just couldn't do 'Cause baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you 'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same Still I hope that you can find another Who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you 'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same But I hope that you can find another Who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you |

Well it started out just like a dream
And like a dream I knew that what we had, Would have to end Cuz I was lookin' for a, Lifetime lover and, You were lookin' for a friend Someone to be there After all your night time lovers had gone, The way they came Someone who knew the way And helped to play your daytime game It's not the same Well I started out pretending that I'd, Come to mean enough to you to make, You want to change Then I came to realize that There was just too much of you you'd have, To rearrange And I couldn't bear to wait around For all your night time lovers to go, The way they came And it came to hurt too much for me To have to play your daytime games No one's to blame Well it started out just like a dream And like a dream I knew that what we had, Would have to end Cuz I was lookin' for a, Lifetime lover and, You were lookin' for a friend I was lookin' for a, Lifetime lover and, You were lookin' for a friend |

Once we were lovers
But some how things have changed Now we're just lonely people tryin' to forget eachother's names Now we're just lonely people tryin' to forget eachother's names What came between us? Maybe we were just too young to know But now and then I feel the same And sometimes at night I think I hear you callin' my name Mmm hmm hmm these dreams They keep me goin' these days Once we were lovers But that was long ago We lived together then And now we do not even say hello We lived together then And now we do not even say hello What came between us? Maybe we were just too young to know But now and then I feel the same And sometimes at night I think I hear you callin' my name Mmm hmm hmm these dreams They keep me goin' these days |

Seems like such a long time ago,
I was walking on a lonely road. Getting tired of dreaming alone, like all the lonely people I had known. Seems like such a long time ago, there was no one who would share my song. I was just a boy far from home, but I became a man when you came along. We spent the whole night talking. You said you'd like to see the sun rise. But in the gold of morning, was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes. I was so afraid to touch you, thought you were too young, you know. So I just watched you sleeping. Then you woke and said to me, The night is cold, it frightens me. I could sleep so easy next to you. Wasn't very long ago, you said that you would like to share my role. Then you started singing my song. Spent so many nights a-waiting, Lets not spend a moments wasting time, because we have very far to go. I will go if you will take me, I have never had a lover. I am young but I am so alone. We spent the whole night talking. But in the gold of morning... |

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me All that I have are these to remember you Memories that come at night Take me to another time Back to a happier day, when I called you mine But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh, how I loved you then Summer skies and lullabies Nights we couldn't say goodbye And of all of the things that we knew Not a dream survived Photographs and memories All the love you gave to me Somehow it just can't be true It's all I've left of you But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh, how I loved you then |
