My dad likes the song Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce and I always wanted to know what the song is about? Also who else has sung Time In A Bottle other than Jim Croce? Because I have heard Glen Campbell sing it as well

I love that song!!! (I have the record)

My dad likes the song Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce and I always wanted to know what the song is about?

The inspiration for the song came from the anticipation of a new addition to the Croce's family. His wife informed him of her pregnancy. Croce sat down that same night and wrote the song.

It’s a timeless message about how precious life is, and how we all need to appreciate what we have while we have it. The song’s meaning lies in the
message that the most important thing we have is time.

Ironically, Jim Croce didn’t live to see the success of “Time in a Bottle.” The singer died in a plane crash in September of 1973. The song was released in November 1973.
