"AMERICAN PIE"
A
long, long time ago
I can
still remember how that music used to make
me smile
And I
knew that if I had my chance
I
could make those people dance
And
maybe they'd be happy for a while
Did
you write the book of love
And
do you have faith in God above
If
the Bible tells you so
Now
do you believe in Rock 'n' roll
And
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
'Cos
I saw you dancing in
the gym
You
both kicked off your shoes
Man,
I dig those rhythm and blues
I was
a lonely teenage broncing buck
With
a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
But I
knew that I was out of luck
The
day the music died.
I
started singing…
Bye,
bye, Miss American Pie
Drove
my Chevy to the levee
But
the levee was dry
And
good old boys were drinking
whiskey and rye
Singing
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
Well
now, in the streets the children screamed
The
lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But
not a word was spoken
Tho
church bells all were broken
And
the three men I admire the most
The
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They
caught the last train for the coast
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
good old boys were drinking
whiskey and rye
Singing
this'll be the day that I die
This'll
be the day that I die
Bye,
bye, Miss American Pie
Drove
my Chevy to the levee
But
the levee was dry
And
good old boys were drinking whiskey
and rye
Singing
this'll be the day that I die
This'll
be the day that I die…
We
started singing…
We
started singing…
We
started singing…
We
started singing…
