A long long time ago |
| [00:03.63] |
|
| [00:05.44] |
I can still remember |
| [00:07.67] |
|
| [00:08.24] |
How that music used to make me smile |
| [00:11.99] |
|
| [00:16.21] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
| [00:19.93] |
|
| [00:20.56] |
That I could make those people dance |
| [00:23.64] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while |
| [00:27.29] |
|
| [00:29.74] |
But February made me shiver |
| [00:32.72] |
|
| [00:33.33] |
With every paper I'd deliver |
| [00:36.10] |
|
| [00:37.12] |
Bad news on the doorstep |
| [00:39.93] |
|
| [00:40.74] |
I couldn't take one more step |
| [00:44.10] |
|
| [00:45.54] |
I can't remember if I cried |
| [00:48.64] |
When I read about his widowed bride |
| [00:52.61] |
|
| [00:53.60] |
But something touched me deep inside |
| [00:59.06] |
The day the music died |
| [01:07.07] |
|
| [01:09.30] |
Did you write the book of love |
| [01:11.44] |
And do you have faith in God above |
| [01:14.51] |
|
| [01:15.40] |
If the Bible tells you so |
| [01:17.45] |
|
| [01:19.15] |
Now do you believe in rock and roll |
| [01:22.46] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
| [01:25.71] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
| [01:31.70] |
Well I know that you're in love with him |
| [01:34.81] |
Cause I saw you dancing in the gym |
| [01:38.25] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
| [01:41.05] |
Man I dig those rhythm and blues |
| [01:44.32] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
| [01:47.44] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
| [01:50.74] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
| [01:53.70] |
The day the music died |
| [01:57.81] |
|
| [01:59.03] |
I started singing |
| [02:00.21] |
Bye bye Miss American Pie |
| [02:02.99] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry |
| [02:05.88] |
|
| [02:06.47] |
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [02:09.16] |
Singing this'll be the day that I die |
| [02:11.62] |
|
| [02:12.88] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [02:15.10] |
|
| [02:17.04] |
Now for ten years we've been on our own |
| [02:20.30] |
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone |
| [02:23.57] |
But that's not how it used to be |
| [02:26.77] |
|
| [02:27.94] |
When the Jester sang for the king and queen |
| [02:31.17] |
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean |
| [02:34.33] |
And a voice that came from you and me |
| [02:39.41] |
|
| [02:40.33] |
Oh and while the king was looking down |
| [02:44.03] |
The Jester stole his thorny crown |
| [02:47.05] |
The courtroom was adjourned |
| [02:49.53] |
|
| [02:50.18] |
No verdict was returned |
| [02:52.91] |
And while Lenin read a book on Marx |
| [02:56.49] |
The quartet practiced in the park |
| [02:59.54] |
And we sang dirges in the dark |
| [03:02.49] |
The day the music died |
| [03:06.53] |
|
| [03:07.73] |
We star to sing |
| [03:08.94] |
Bye bye Miss American Pie |
| [03:11.67] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry |
| [03:14.92] |
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [03:17.92] |
Singing this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:20.42] |
|
| [03:21.50] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:23.84] |
|
| [03:26.47] |
Bye bye Miss American Pie |
| [03:28.90] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry |
| [03:31.68] |
|
| [03:32.34] |
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [03:35.01] |
Singing this'll be the day that I die |
| [03:37.68] |
|
| [03:38.77] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [03:40.71] |
|
| [03:43.54] |
Bye bye Miss American Pie |
| [03:45.93] |
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry |
| [03:48.76] |
|
| [03:49.39] |
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye |
| [03:52.12] |
Singing this'll be the day that I |
