[00:01.050] a long long time ago.
[00:03.420] i can sitll remember.
[00:06.130] how that music used to make me smile.
[00:10.900] and i knew that if i had my chance.
[00:14.160] i could make those people dance.
[00:18.200] and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
[00:40.370] did you write the book of love?
[00:43.450] and do you have faith in god above.
[00:48.000] if the bible tells you so?
[00:52.360] now do you believe in rock and roll?
[00:57.140] can music save your mortal soul?
[01:01.260] and can you teach me?
[01:03.080] how to dance real slowly?
[01:08.000] well, i know that you are in love with him.
[01:12.250] 'cause i saw you dancing in the gym.
[01:16.540] you both kicked off your shoes.
[01:19.980] man,i dig those rhythm and blues.
[01:23.720] i was a lonely teenage broncing buck.
[01:27.850] with a pink carnation a pickup truck.
[01:31.790] but i knew that i was out of luck.
[01:35.770] the day the music died.
[01:42.000] i started singing!
[01:43.760] bye,bye miss american pie.
[01:46.570] drove my chivy to the levee.
[01:48.610] but the levee was dry.
[01:51.250] then goo dole boys
[01:52.970] were drinking whiskey and rye.
[01:54.310] singing this'll be the day that i die.
[01:58.970] this'll be the day that i die.
[02:09.630] i met a girl who sang the blues.
[02:12.330] and i asked her for some happy news.
[02:16.940] but she just smiled turned away.
[02:21.770] then i went down to the sacred store.
[02:25.930] where i'd heard the music years before.
[02:28.430] but the man there said.
[02:31.670] the music wouldn't play.
[02:36.880] well now in the streets the children screamed.
[02:41.840] the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
[02:45.470] but not a word was spoken.
[02:49.370] the church bells all were broken.
[02:52.770] and the three men i'm admire most
[02:57.470] the father,son, the holy ghost.
[03:01.460] they caught the last train for the coast.
[03:04.940] the day the music died.
[03:11.200] we started singing.
[03:12.680] bye,bye miss american pie.
[03:15.920] drove my chivy to the levee.
[03:17.930] but the levee was dry.
[03:20.410] then goo dole boys.
[03:21.970] were drinking whiskey and rye.
[03:24.110] singing this'll be the day that i die.
[03:28.040] this'll be the day that i die.
[03:45.430] bye,bye miss american pie.
[03:48.990] drove my chivy to the levee.
[03:52.710] but the levee was dry.
[03:54.190] then goo dole boys.
[03:55.590] were drinking whiskey and rye.
[03:57.590] singing this'll be the day that i die.
[04:01.530] this'll be the day that i die.
[04:05.300] we started singing.
[04:07.670] we started singing.
[04:11.670] we started singing.
[04:16.670] we started singing.
