From: songs2play

Can anyone help me find a song which has the lyrics - something like-

"Well it started out just like a dream and like a dream it had to end.." "You were looking for a night time lover and I was looking for a friend........"

All I remember sorry

Nice one Paul and George - why do those names ring a bell (Where's Ringo and John ?) As the writer intro to the song says - "WHY THURSDAY?" Thanks again George.

# This  is  a  very  fine  country tune by Croce (I'm assuming he wrote it
  # himself).  Hope  I got everything correct. PLEASE: if a better guitarist
  # than  I  would figure out a) the picking pattern and b) why it is called
  # "Thursday"  :-) I would love to hear about it. All your comments, flames
  # and/or  suggestions  should  be  sent  to  [e-mail] - Enjoy! Bo.
  
  
                          THURSDAY - Jim Croce
  
          C 
  Well it started out just like a dream 
      F
  and like a dream I knew that  
          G                 C
  what we had would have to end. 
                      F
  I was looking for a night time lover 
        G                      C
  (and) you were looking for a friend.
  
  
  [bridge]
  
  Am                        Em
  Someone to be there after all your night time lovers
      F                  G
  had gone to where they came.
  Am                      D
  Someone who knew the way and help to play 
                G 
  your day time games.
  
  F       N.C.             Am                G
          It's not the same.
  
  
         C                              
  Well I started out pretending 
           F
  that I'd come to mean enough to you
     G                C
  to make you want to change.
                              F
  Then I came to realise that there was just too much of you 
      G          C
  you had to rearrange
  
  
  Am                                       Em
  And I couldn't bear to wait around for all your
                       F                G
  night time lovers to go to where they came
  Am
  and then it came to hurt too much to me
          D                  G
  to help to play your day time games
  
  F       N.C.            Am                G
          No one's to blame
  
  
          C 
  Well it started out just like a dream 
      F
  and like a dream I knew that  
          G                 C
  what we had would have to end. 
                      F
  I was looking for a night time lover 
        G                      Am
  (and) you were looking for a friend.
  
  F                   C          Am
  I was looking for a night time lover
        G                      C               F             C
  (and) you were looking for a friend.
