| [00:01.100] | 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] |
