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 CHORUS: 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 ...CHORUS VERSE:
