A long long time ago |
| [00:03.88] |
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile |
| [00:12.38] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
| [00:15.56] |
That I could make those people dance |
| [00:20.09] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. |
| [00:25.87] |
But February made me shiver |
| [00:29.17] |
With every paper I'd deliver |
| [00:32.45] |
Bad news on the doorstep |
| [00:36.27] |
I couldn't take one more step |
| [00:40.38] |
I can't remember if I cried |
| [00:43.90] |
When I read about his widowed bride |
| [00:48.57] |
But something touched me deep inside |
| [00:53.39] |
The day the music died |
| [01:03.50] |
So Bye-bye' Miss American Pie |
| [01:07.46] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [01:10.06] |
But the levee was dry |
| [01:12.57] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [01:17.26] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [01:22.59] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [01:28.23] |
Did you write the Book of Love |
| [01:31.60] |
And do you have faith in God above |
| [01:35.34] |
If the Bible tells you so |
| [01:39.23] |
Do you believe in rock 'n roll |
| [01:43.45] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
| [01:47.08] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
| [01:53.46] |
Well' I know that you're in love with him |
| [01:57.10] |
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym |
| [02:00.63] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
| [02:04.06] |
Man' I dig those rhythm and blues |
| [02:07.50] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
| [02:10.72] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
| [02:14.22] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
| [02:17.64] |
The day the music died |
| [02:23.80] |
I started singin' |
| [02:24.98] |
Bye-bye' Miss American Pie |
| [02:27.87] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [02:29.91] |
But the levee was dry |
| [02:31.60] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [02:34.97] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [02:38.92] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [02:43.77] |
Now for ten years we've been on our own |
| [02:47.09] |
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone |
| [02:50.84] |
But that's not how it used to be |
| [02:54.50] |
When the jester sang for the King and Queen |
| [02:59.35] |
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean |
| [03:02.90] |
And a voice that came from you and me |
| [03:09.58] |
Oh' and while the King was looking down |
| [03:13.66] |
The jester stole his thorny crown |
| [03:17.26] |
The courtroom was adjourned |
| [03:20.87] |
No verdict was returned |
| [03:23.80] |
And while Lennon read a book of Marx |
| [03:27.34] |
The quartet practiced in the park |
| [03:30.79] |
And we sang dirges in the dark |
| [03:34.56] |
The day the music died |
| [03:40.54] |
We were singing |
| [03:41.38] |
Bye-bye' Miss American Pie |
| [03:44.31] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [03:46.17] |
But the levee was dry |
| [03:48.19] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [03:51.55] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:55.49] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [04:02.27] |
|
