Jim Croce - Thursday lyrics

Well it started out just like a dream

And like a dream I knew


That what we had would have to end

I was looking for a life-time lover

And you were looking for a friend



Someone to be there

After all your nighttime lovers had gone

The way they came

Someone who knew the way

To help you play

Your daytime game

It's not the same



Well, I started out pretending

That I ought to mean enough to you

To make you want to change

Then I came to realize

That there was just too much of you

You had to rearrange



And I couldn't bear to wait around

For all your nighttime lovers to go

The way they came

And it came to hurt too much for me

To have to play your daytime

Noone to blame



It started out just like a dream

And like a dream I knew

That what we had had to end

I was looking for a life-time lover

And you were looking for a friend



I was looking for a life-time lover

And you were looking for a friend
