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 drinking 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 believed in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
And I know that 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 were drinking whiskey and rye 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 they were singing Bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ol' boys drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die The day the music diedTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
