 played rapidly.
  It  must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm
  It  must  be nice never to move off of the mark
  it  must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down
  It  must  be great to be all the things you're not
  It  must  be great to be all the things I am not
  I  see you in the hospital your humor is intact
  I'm embarrasses  by the strengh I seem to lack
  If  I was in your shoes
  so  strange that I am not
  I'd  fold up in a minute and a half
  I'd  fold up in a minute and a half
  And I didn't  get a chance to say goodbye
  It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold
  It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down
  But me I'm all emotional no matter how I try
  You're gone and I'm still here alive
  You're gone and I am still alive
  and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
  No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
  There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do
  But I wish I'd known that you were going to die
  Then I wouldn't feel so stupid, such a fool that I didn't call
  And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
  I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
  No there's no logic to this - who's picked to stay or go
  If you think too hard it only makes you mad
  But your optimism made me think you really had it beat
  So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
  I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
