A long long
time ago
I can sitll
remember how
That music used
two 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 U write
the book of love
And do U have
faith in God above
If the Bible
tells U so
Now do U believe
in rock roll
Can music save
Ur mortal soul
And can U teach me
How to dance
real slowly
Well I know that
U're in love
with him
'Cause I saw U
dancing in the gym
U both kicked
off Ur shoes
ManI dig those
rhythm blues
I was a lonely
teenage broncin'
buck
With a pink
carnation
a pickup truck
But I knew that
I was out of luck
The day the
music died
I started singin
Bye bye Miss
American Pie
Drove my chivy
to the levee
But the levee
was dry
Then goo
dole boys
Were drinking
whiskey rye
Singin this will
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 4 some
happy new
But she just
smiled turned away
Then I went
down 2 the
sacred store
Where I'd heard
the music
years before
But the man
there said
wouldn't play
Well now in the
streets the
children screamed
The lovers cried
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
the Holy Ghost
They caught the
last train 4
the coast
The day the
music died
I started singin
Bye bye Miss
American Pie
Drove my chivy
2 the levee
But the levee
was dry
Then goo
dole boys
Were drinking
whiskey rye
Singin this ll
be the day
that I die
This'll be
the day that
I die
Bye bye Miss
American Pie
Drove my chivy
2 the levee
But the levee
was dry
Then goo
dole boys
Were drinking
whiskey rye
Singin 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
