[00:06.28]A long long time ago
[00:08.34]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:14.93]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:19.03]That I could make those people dance
[00:21.93]And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
[00:25.62]Did you write the Book of Love
[00:41.00]And do you have faith in God above
[00:43.43]If the Bible tells you so
[00:48.18]Do you believe in rock 'n roll
[00:53.38]Can music save your mortal soul
[00:57.18]And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:04.21]Well, I know that you're in love with him
[01:08.21]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[01:11.50]You both kicked off your shoes
[01:15.08]Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
[01:18.28]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[01:22.27]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[01:25.70]But I knew I was out of luck
[01:29.24]The day the music died
[01:34.16]I started singin'
[01:36.90]Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[01:39.93]Drove my chevy to the levee
[01:42.26]But the levee was dry
[01:43.79]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:47.28]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[01:51.32]This'll be the day that I die
[01:57.00]I met a girl who sang the blues
[02:03.32]And I asked her for some happy news
[02:06.92]But she just smiled and turned away
[02:11.11]I went down to the sacred store
[02:15.72]Where I'd heard the music years before
[02:19.15]But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[02:24.97]And in the streets the children screamed
[02:29.79]The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
[02:33.12]But not a word was spoken
[02:35.76]The church bells all were broken
[02:39.31]And the three men I admire most
[02:43.41]The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
[02:47.10]They caught the last train for the coast
[02:50.49]The day the music died
[02:56.57]And they were singing
[02:58.93]Bye-bye, miss American pie
[03:00.71]Drove my Chevy to the levee
[03:02.94]But the levee was dry
[03:04.31]Them good old boys were drink in whiskey and rye
[03:07.63]And singing, this’ll be the day that I die
[03:10.88]This’ll be the day that I die this’ll
[03:16.30]He was singing
[03:18.18]Bye-bye, miss American pie
[03:23.33]Drove my Chevy to the levee
[03:26.82]But the levee was dry
[03:29.00]Them good old boys were drink in whiskey and rye
[03:30.42]And singing, this’ll be the day that I die
[03:34.45]This’ll be the day that I die this’ll
