Thursday — Jim Croce

Well, it started out just like a dream And like a dream I knew that what we had Would have to end I was lookin' for a lifetime lover And you were lookin' 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've come to mean enough to you To make you want to change Then I came to realize That there was just too much of you there to rearrange

And I couldn't bear to wait around For all your nighttime lovers To go the way they came Then it came to hurt too much for me To have to play your daytime game No one's to blame

Well, it started out just like a dream And like a dream I knew that what we had Would have to end

I was lookin' for a lifetime lover And you were lookin' for a friend I was lookin' for a lifetime lover And you were lookin' for a friend
