Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle 🔊💜
For days after Jim Croce died in a plane crash, his wife, Ingrid Croce, received a letter he had written that day.
In it, he expressed his desire to retire from performing and become "a public hermit," focusing instead on writing so he could attend to his family.
The letter concluded with touching words to his family: "Give my little man (A.J.) a kiss," followed by "Remember, it's the first 60 years that count, and I've got 30 more to go."
The tragic irony of his plans to retire and his final words about having 30 more years ahead of him is especially poignant, as Croce was only 30 years old when the plane crash claimed his life.
Adding to the bittersweet legacy, his song "Time in a Bottle" would become a posthumous #1 hit on the Billboard charts, its lyrics about mortality and the wish for more time taking on an even deeper meaning after his untimely death.
