- "It Doesn't Have to Be That Way" is a song written and recorded by Jim Croce in 1973 it reveals a man who has recently ended a relationship. As the holiday season approaches, the Christmas atmosphere in his town is evident nearly everywhere, As he walks down the "windy winter avenue" and encounters these holiday festivities, he admits that he wishes he and his lover could reunite. However, even as he encounters these sad reminders, he finds room for optimism, suggesting that "it doesn't have to be that way," and that his relationship with his lover could "easily" be rekindled if they attempted to do so. He suggests that if his lover could only see him as a "lonely man" walking down the street, that she would "understand" his sadness, and agree to reunite. Finally, he wants to visit his lover's house "today," so that they can "get it together tonight," overcoming their problems to begin their relationship once more. The lyrics end the chorus by noting that his life can only be better with his lover - indeed, "it's only right." Jim’s song hits too deep and is too beautiful, it is heart wrenching, it is bitter sweet, but it gives you hope and encouragement, indeed ”it doesn’t have to be that way”, Thank you Jim for writing us such a beautiful song for holiday season to warm our hears during the windy winter. What a great talent!
RIP Jim

Hearing this for the first time, need to dig out my old Jim LP's. You're right he was timeless his music crossed borders. Greetings from Ireland.
Yes Victoria totally agree with you Jim Croce was a great music icon
Большой талант видеть счастье и радость среди горя ,несчастий, войн и других неприятностей.
This tune is what inspired John L. Gallion to author "Twist of Fate". He too, never won the heart of a woman in his youth who was a few years older and was pragmatic but not romantic to his chagrin. The novel was written to assuage his grief of his loss. The irony was in the years that followed. He did find a well adjusted and level headed woman that bore two healthy, beautiful and intelligent children while his lost love did marry but never bore any children. So, I would say to the woman that rejected his devotion,, enjoy your money and/or "freedom" that is ALL you you have. No legacy, no one to hold your hand when you are old and sick and dying.
I miss Jimmy😢
I like this.
