0:00American Pie, Part I - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)
0:00A long long time ago
0:04I can still remember how
0:06That music used to make me smile
0:12And I knew if I had my chance
0:16That I could make those people dance
0:18And maybe they'd be happy for a while
0:25But February made me shiver
0:29With every paper I'd deliver
0:32Bad news on the doorstep
0:36I couldn't take one more step
0:41I can't remember if I cried
0:43When I read about his widowed bride
0:48But something touched me deep inside
0:53The day the music died
1:03So Bye-bye Miss American Pie
1:07Drove my chevy to the levee
1:10But the levee was dry
1:12And them good old boys
1:14Were drinking whiskey and rye
1:17Singing this'll be the day that I die
1:22This'll be the day that I die
1:29Did you write the Book of Love
1:31And do you have faith in God above
1:36If the Bible tells you so
1:40Have you believe in rock in roll
1:43Can music save your mortal soul
1:46And can you teach me
1:49How to dance real slow
1:53Well I know that you're in love with him
1:57Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
2:01You both kicked off your shoes
2:04Man I dig those rhythm and blues
2:07I was a lonely teenage broncing buck
2:11With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
2:14But I knew I was out of luck
2:17The day the music died
2:23I started singing
2:24Bye-bye Miss American Pie
2:28Drove my chevy to the levee
2:29But the levee was dry
2:31And them good old boys
2:33Were drinking whiskey and rye
2:35Singing this'll be the day that I die
2:39This'll be the day that I die
2:43Now for ten years we've been on our own
2:47And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
2:51But that's not how it used to be
2:56When the jester sang for the King and Queen
2:59In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
3:03And a voice that came from you and me
3:09Oh and while the King was looking down
3:13The jester stole his thorny crown
3:17The courtroom was adjourned
3:20No verdict was returned
3:23And while Lennon read a book of Marx
3:27The quartet practiced in the park
3:31And we sang dirges in the dark
3:34The day the music died
3:40We were singing
3:41Bye-bye Miss American Pie
3:44Drove my chevy to the levee
3:46But the levee was dry
3:48Then good old boys
3:49Were drinking whiskey and rye
3:51Singing this'll be the day that I die
3:55This'll be the day that I die
4:01Bye-bye Miss American Pie
