Jim Croce

[yeshe]

Что нового можно найти в собственной старой машине? Только случайно и редко - хорошую музыку на радио... Вот такая удивительная встреча на ночном шоссе среди огней светофоров и красных и белых огней фар пролетающих мимо авто... обычно предпочитаю тишину, но иногда нажимаю кнопку радио, чтобы чаще всего ее сразу и выключить. Но вдруг зазвучала гитара и тихий высокий мужской голос запел: 'If I could save time in a bottle...' Признаюсь, слезы выступили на глазах.



Его уже нет в живых, он разбился на самолете много-много лет назад - в 1970-м, когда ему было всего тридцать лет. Но как это удивительно - встреча через время, через жизнь и смерть.

Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle (1973)

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,

If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true

Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time,
To do the things you want to do

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,
You're the one I want to go
Through time with

When we are young we dream of
the time that the one true love of
our life will come along...

For some of us, that someone comes
very early in our lives...
For others, we do not meet that
special someone until later in life.

Whether we are young or old, it does
sometimes seem as if there is never
enough time to do everything that we
would like to do.

So when you do find your one true love
live each day to the fullest, and live each
day as if it were your last.
We could all probably say that we wish
we could save
