Lyrics
0:00A long long time ago
0:04I can still remember how that music
0:08Used to make me smile
0:10And I knew if I had my chance
0:14That I could make those people dance
0:17And maybe they'd be happy for a while
0:23But February made me shiver
0:26With every paper I'd deliver
0:30Bad news on the doorstep
0:32I couldn't take one more step
0:36I can't remember if I cried
0:39When I read about his widowed bride
0:44Something touched me deep inside
0:48The day the music died
0:56So bye bye miss American pie
1:00Drove my Chevy to the levee
1:02But the levee was dry
1:04And them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye
1:08Singin' this'll be the day that I die
1:13This'll be the day that I die
1:19Oh did you write the book of love
1:22And do you have faith in God above
1:26If the Bible tells you so
1:31Now do you believe in rock and roll
1:35Can music save your mortal soul
1:38And can you teach me how to dance real slow
1:46Well I know you're in love with him
1:49'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
1:53You both kicked off your shoes
1:56Man I dig those rhythm and blues
1:59I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
2:04With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
2:07But I knew I was out of luck
2:11The day the music died
2:17I started singin' bye bye miss American pie
2:21Drove my Chevy to the levee
2:23But the levee was dry
2:25And them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye
2:29And singin' this'll be the day that I die
2:33This'll be the day that I die
2:38Oh I met a girl who sang the blues
2:42And I asked her for some happy news
2:46But she just smiled and turned away
2:51I went down to the sacred store
2:54Where I'd heard the music years before
2:58But the man there said the music wouldn't play
3:05And in the streets the children screamed
3:09The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
3:12But not a word was spoken
3:16The church bells all were broken
3:19And the three men I admire most
3:23The father son and the holy ghost
3:27They caught the last train for the coast
3:30The day the music died
3:36And were singin' bye bye miss American pie
3:41Drove my Chevy to the levee
3:42But the levee was dry
3:44Them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye
3:48And singin' this'll be the day that I die
3:52This'll be the day that I die
3:56The day that music die
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 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 ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh 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 and roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well I know 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 ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh 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 were singin' bye bye miss American pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die The day that music die
