Verse 2 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. Chorus D# D* But there never seems to be enough time B# D ** ## ~~ Bridge 3 To do the things you want to do once you find them. I've looked around enough to know that your the one I want to go through time with. Verse 3 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.
