How wonderful life would be
If memories we could gather
Put them in a bottle
And seal them up forever.

Or let them out one by one
When we had the need
Lovely memories evolutional
As we spread our garden seed.

They could last forever
Like never ending time
Sharing them with others
So much happiness we could find.

Time stands still for no one
I often wish that it would
So we could live together
In love and brotherhood.

Time in a bottle is only a wish
A myth I share with you
I'll continue to dream as I always have
And hope they will come true.

If you have a dream don't be afraid
To share with those you know
That's what makes life so precious
When life's memories we can sow.
