a long long
time ago
i can still remember how that music used to make me smile
and i
knew if i had my chance
that i could make those people dance
and maybe
they'd be happy for a while.
but february made me shiver
with every
paper i'd deliver
bad news on the doorstep
i couldn't take one more step
i can't remember if i cried
when i read about his widowed bride
but something touched me deep inside
the day the music died
so
bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was
dry
and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' this'll
be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
did you write
the book of love
and do you have faith in god above
if the bible tells
you so
do you believe in rock 'n roll
can music save your mortal soul
and can you teach me how to dance real slow
well, i know that you're
in love with him
'cause i saw you dancin' in the gym
you both kicked off
your shoes
man, i dig those rhythm and blues
i was a lonely teenage
broncin' buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but i knew i was
out of luck
the day the music died
i started singin'
bye-bye,
miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' this'll be
the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
now for ten
years we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
but
that's not how it used to be
when the jester sang for the king and queen
in a coat he borrowed from james dean
and a voice that came from you and
me
oh, and while the king was looking down
the jester stole his
thorny crown
the courtroom was adjourned
no verdict was returned
and while lennon read a book of marx
the quartet practiced in the
park
and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died
we
were singing
bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and
rye
singin' this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
helter skelter in a summer swelter
the byrds flew off with a fallout
shelter
eight miles high and falling fast
it landed foul out on the
grass
the players tried for a forward pass
with the jester on the
sidelines in a cast
now the half-time air was sweet perfume
while
the sergeants played a marching tune
we all got up to dance
oh, but we
never got the chance
'cause the players tried to take the field
the
marching band refused to yield
do you recall what was revealed
the day
the music died
we started singing
bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old
boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
oh, and there we were all in one place
a generation lost in space
with no time left to start again
so come
on, jack be nimble, jack be quick
jack flash sat on a candlestick
'cause
fire is the devil's only friend
oh, and as i watched him on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage
no angel born in hell
could
break that satan's spell
and as the flames climbed high into the night
to light the sacrifical rite
i saw satan laughing with delight
the
day the music died
he was singing
bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and them good old
boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin' this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
i met a girl who sang the blues
and i asked her for some happy news
but she just smiled and turned away
i went down to the sacred store
where i'd heard the music years before
but the man there said the music wouldn't play
and in the streets
the children screamed
the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
but not a
word was spoken
the church bells all were broken
and the three men i
admire most
the father, son and the holy ghost
they caught the last
train for the coast
the day the music died
and they were singing
bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee
was dry
and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
singin'
this'll be the day that i die
this'll be the day that i die
they
were singing bye-bye, miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but
the levee was dry
them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
singin' this'll be the day that i die
