A long long time ago |
| [00:03.000] |
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile |
| [00:12.000] |
And I knew if I had my chance |
| [00:15.000] |
That I could make those people dance |
| [00:19.000] |
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. |
| [00:25.000] |
But February made me shiver |
| [00:29.000] |
With every paper I'd deliver |
| [00:33.000] |
Bad news on the doorstep |
| [00:36.000] |
I couldn't take one more step |
| [00:40.000] |
I can't remember if I cried |
| [00:43.000] |
When I read about his widowed bride |
| [00:48.000] |
But something touched me deep inside |
| [00:53.000] |
The day the music died |
| [01:04.800] |
So Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [01:08.500] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [01:11.500] |
But the levee was dry |
| [01:13.500] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [01:18.500] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [01:24.500] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [01:31.100] |
Did you write the Book of Love |
| [01:33.100] |
And do you have faith in God above |
| [01:37.100] |
If the Bible tells you so |
| [01:42.100] |
Do you believe in rock 'n roll |
| [01:45.100] |
Can music save your mortal soul |
| [01:49.100] |
And can you teach me how to dance real slow |
| [01:55.100] |
Well, I know that you're in love with him |
| [01:59.100] |
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym |
| [02:03.100] |
You both kicked off your shoes |
| [02:05.100] |
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues |
| [02:09.800] |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck |
| [02:12.800] |
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck |
| [02:17.000] |
But I knew I was out of luck |
| [02:20.000] |
The day the music died |
| [02:27.000] |
I started singin' |
| [02:28.000] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [02:31.000] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [02:33.000] |
But the levee was dry |
| [02:35.000] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [02:38.000] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [02:42.300] |
This'll be the day that I die |
| [02:47.200] |
Now for ten years we've been on our own |
| [02:51.200] |
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone |
| [02:55.200] |
But that's not how it used to be |
| [03:00.200] |
When the jester sang for the King and Queen |
| [03:03.200] |
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean |
| [03:07.200] |
And a voice that came from you and me |
| [03:14.200] |
Oh, and while the King was looking down |
| [03:18.200] |
The jester stole his thorny crown |
| [03:21.200] |
The courtroom was adjourned |
| [03:24.500] |
No verdict was returned |
| [03:29.400] |
And while Lennon read a book of Marx |
| [03:33.400] |
The quartet practiced in the park |
| [03:36.400] |
And we sang dirges in the dark |
| [03:39.400] |
The day the music died |
| [03:45.400] |
We were singing |
| [03:46.400] |
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie |
| [03:49.400] |
Drove my chevy to the levee |
| [03:52.400] |
But the levee was dry |
| [03:54.400] |
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye |
| [03:57.400] |
Singin' this'll be the day that I die |
| [04:01.400] |
This'll be the day that I die |
