Intro is

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
