A long long time ago |
| [00:03.669] |
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile |
| [00:11.070] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
| [00:14.119] |
That I could make those people dance |
| [00:17.200] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. |
| [00:21.500] |
|
| [00:32.450] |
Did you write the Book of Love |
| [00:35.230] |
And do you have faith in God above |
| [00:39.090] |
If the Bible tells you so |
| [00:44.360] |
Do you believe in rock 'n roll |
| [00:48.320] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
| [00:52.400] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
| [00:59.169] |
Well, I know that you're in love with him |
| [00:59.300] |
|
| [01:02.760] |
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym |
| [01:06.220] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
| [01:09.680] |
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues |
| [01:13.090] |
|
| [01:13.610] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
| [01:16.580] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
| [01:21.210] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
| [01:24.310] |
The day the music died |
| [01:29.060] |
|
| [01:30.750] |
I started singin' |
| [01:31.790] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [01:34.710] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [01:37.000] |
But the levee was dry |
| [01:38.490] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [01:42.800] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [01:46.120] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [01:49.629] |
|
| [01:55.250] |
I met a girl who sang the blues |
| [01:58.710] |
And I asked her for some happy news |
| [02:02.220] |
But she just smiled and turned away |
| [02:06.700] |
I went down to the sacred store |
| [02:10.279] |
Where I'd heard the music years before |
| [02:13.739] |
But the man there said the music wouldn't play |
| [02:19.499] |
|
| [02:20.699] |
And in the streets the children screamed |
| [02:24.749] |
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed |
| [02:28.269] |
But not a word was spoken |
| [02:30.629] |
The church bells all were broken |
| [02:34.099] |
|
| [02:34.799] |
And the three men I admire most |
| [02:38.639] |
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost |
| [02:42.129] |
They caught the last train for the coast |
| [02:45.369] |
The day the music died |
| [02:50.189] |
|
| [02:51.529] |
And they were singing |
| [02:52.579] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [02:55.389] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [02:57.489] |
But the levee was dry |
| [02:59.390] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [03:02.419] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:06.149] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:09.999] |
|
| [03:12.090] |
They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [03:18.089] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [03:20.529] |
But the levee was dry |
| [03:21.699] |
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [03:25.019] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:29.489] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:33.359] |
|
