A long long time ago |
[00:08.34] |
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile |
[00:14.93] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
[00:19.03] |
That I could make those people dance |
[00:21.93] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. |
[00:25.62] |
Did you write the Book of Love |
[00:41.00] |
And do you have faith in God above |
[00:43.43] |
If the Bible tells you so |
[00:48.18] |
Do you believe in rock 'n roll |
[00:53.38] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
[00:57.18] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
[01:04.21] |
Well, I know that you're in love with him |
[01:08.21] |
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym |
[01:11.50] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
[01:15.08] |
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues |
[01:18.28] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
[01:22.27] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
[01:25.70] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
[01:29.24] |
The day the music died |
[01:34.16] |
I started singin' |
[01:36.90] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
[01:39.93] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
[01:42.26] |
But the levee was dry |
[01:43.79] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
[01:47.28] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
[01:51.32] |
This'll be the day that I die |
[01:57.00] |
I met a girl who sang the blues |
[02:03.32] |
And I asked her for some happy news |
[02:06.92] |
But she just smiled and turned away |
[02:11.11] |
I went down to the sacred store |
[02:15.72] |
Where I'd heard the music years before |
[02:19.15] |
But the man there said the music wouldn't play |
[02:24.97] |
And in the streets the children screamed |
[02:29.79] |
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed |
[02:33.12] |
But not a word was spoken |
[02:35.76] |
The church bells all were broken |
[02:39.31] |
And the three men I admire most |
[02:43.41] |
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost |
[02:47.10] |
They caught the last train for the coast |
[02:50.49] |
The day the music died |
[02:56.57] |
And they were singing |
[02:58.93] |
Bye-bye, miss American pie |
[03:00.71] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee |
[03:02.94] |
But the levee was dry |
[03:04.31] |
Them good old boys were drink in whiskey and rye |
[03:07.63] |
And singing, this’ll be the day that I die |
[03:10.88] |
This’ll be the day that I die this’ll |
[03:16.30] |
He was singing |
[03:18.18] |
Bye-bye, miss American pie |
[03:23.33] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee |
[03:26.82] |
But the levee was dry |
[03:29.00] |
Them good old boys were drink in whiskey and rye |
[03:30.42] |
And singing, this’ll be the day that I die |
[03:34.45] |
This’ll be the day that I die this’ll |
