Description

Track 5 from his third album “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” released in 1972 copyright ABC Records. After hearing a demo tape, the Polygram Group in the Netherlands agreed to finance the recording of the album at “The Hit Factory” in New York City. The finished product was shopped around and rejected by forty record companies before ABC listened and agreed to sign Croce. The album received slightly better than average reviews and achieved Gold status the following year. After his death in September, 1973 in a small plane crash in Louisiana that was attributed to pilot error, “Time in a Bottle” was released as a single and reached No. 1, becoming his second single to top the charts.

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
