Time Flies on Gossamer Wings
“Time in a Bottle” is a song that was written and recorded by the American singer and songwriter Jim Croce. It is featured on his 1972 album You Don’t Mess Around with Jim.

It was Croce’s second and final number one hit in the US. “Time in a Bottle” was the third posthumous Billboard number one hit after “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding and “Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin.
