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 you have 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
|
|
It started out just like a dream
|
And like a dream
|
I knew that what we had
|
Would have to end
|
|
'Cause 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
|
