[00:01.19]A long, long time ago
[00:04.37]I can still remember how that music
[00:08.72]Used to make me smile
[00:12.26]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:16.30]That I could make those people dance
[00:19.14]And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:24.36]
[00:26.48]But February made me shiver
[00:30.14]With every paper I'd deliver
[00:33.40]Bad news on the doorstep
[00:37.10]I couldn't take one more step
[00:41.56]I can't remember if I cried
[00:44.53]When I read about his widowed bride
[00:49.82]Something touched me deep inside
[00:54.24]The day the music died
[01:01.18]
[01:04.60]So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[01:08.35]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[01:13.78]And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:18.14]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[01:24.41]This'll be the day that I die"
[01:29.47]Did you write the book of love
[01:32.48]And do you have faith in God above
[01:37.00]If the Bible tells you so?
[01:40.95]Now, do you believe in rock 'n' roll
[01:45.26]Can music save your mortal soul
[01:48.79]And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
[01:55.15]Well, I know that you're in love with him
[01:58.69]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:02.37]You both kicked off your shoes
[02:05.20]Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
[02:08.76]I was a lonely teenage bronckin' buck
[02:12.78]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:16.38]But I knew I was out of luck
[02:19.69]The day the music died
[02:25.56]I started singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[02:29.59]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[02:33.93]Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:36.55]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[02:41.13]This'll be the day that I die"
[02:45.73]Now, for ten years we've been on our own
[02:49.10]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:53.90]But that's not how it used to be
[02:57.94]When the jester sang for the king and queen
[03:01.39]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:05.60]And a voice that came from you and me
[03:11.74]Oh, and while the king was looking down
[03:15.50]The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:19.17]The courtroom was adjourned
[03:22.67]No verdict was returned
[03:25.89]And while Lenin read a book on Marx
[03:29.63]A quartet practiced in the park
[03:33.90]And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:36.53]The day the music died
[03:42.19]We were singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[03:46.49]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[03:50.54]Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:53.74]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[03:57.70]This'll be the day that I die"
[04:02.79]Helter skelter in a summer swelter
[04:06.16]The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:09.98]Eight miles high and falling fast
[04:15.61]It landed foul on the grass
[04:18.30]The players tried for a forward pass
[04:22.00]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:28.65]Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume
[04:32.11]While sergeants played a marching tune
[04:35.85]We all got up to dance
[04:39.24]Oh, but we never got the chance
[04:42.31]'Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:46.43]The marching band refused to yield
[04:50.20]Do you recall what was revealed
[04:53.17]The day the music died?
[04:58.77]We started singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[05:03.32]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[05:07.41]Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[05:10.59]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[05:14.61]This'll be the day that I die"
[05:18.97]Oh, and there we were all in one place
[05:22.61]A generation lost in space
[05:26.63]With no time left to start again
[05:31.41]So, come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
[05:34.60]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:38.48]'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
[05:45.29]Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
[05:48.75]My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:52.53]No angel born in Hell
[05:55.69]Could break that Satan spell
[05:58.64]And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:02.38]To light the sacrificial rite
[06:06.23]I saw Satan laughing with delight
[06:09.56]The day the music died
[06:15.10]He was singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[06:19.80]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[06:23.81]Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:27.37]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[06:31.00]This'll be the day that I die"
[06:37.38]I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:40.27]And I asked her for some happy news
[06:44.99]But she just smiled and turned away
[06:49.25]I went down to the sacred store
[06:52.45]Where I'd heard the music years before
[06:55.96]But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:04.27]And in the streets the children screamed
[07:07.28]The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
[07:11.64]But not a word was spoken
[07:14.73]The church bells all were broken
[07:19.32]And the three men I admire most
[07:22.70]The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:26.85]They caught the last train for the coast
[07:31.18]The day the music died
[07:38.49]And they were singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[07:45.61]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[07:51.84]And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:57.30]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
[08:02.75]This'll be the day that I die"
[08:09.14]They were singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[08:14.71]Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
[08:20.90]Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[08:24.34]Singin', "This'll be the day that I die"
