American Pie-Various Artists/Who's That Girl!

[00:00.26]A long long time ago [00:03.96]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile [00:12.26]And I knew if I had my chance [00:15.96]That I could make those people dance [00:18.72]And maybe they'd be happy for a while [00:25.80]But February made me shiver [00:29.28]With every paper I'd deliver [00:33.03]Bad news on the doorstep [00:36.36]I couldn't take one more step [00:40.98]I can't remember if I cried [00:43.94]When I read about his widowed bride [00:49.08]But something touched me deep inside [00:53.57]The day the music died [01:03.26]So bye-bye Miss American Pie [01:07.65]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [01:13.01]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [01:17.43]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [01:22.86]This'll be the day that I die [01:29.31]Did you write the Book of Love [01:31.81]And do you have faith in God above [01:36.07]If the Bible tells you so [01:40.26]And do you believe in rock 'n roll [01:43.77]Can music save your mortal soul [01:47.20]And can you teach me how to dance real slow [01:53.73]Well I know that you're in love with him [01:57.49]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym [02:01.13]You both kicked off your shoes [02:04.42]Man I dig those rhythm and blues [02:07.93]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck [02:11.54]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck [02:14.90]But I knew I was out of luck [02:18.16]The day the music died [02:23.79]I started singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [02:28.43]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [02:32.47]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [02:35.28]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [02:39.23]This'll be the day that I die [02:44.29]Now for ten years we've been on our own [02:47.99]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone [02:51.72]But that's not how it used to be [02:56.39]When the jester sang for the King and Queen [03:00.10]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean [03:03.67]And a voice that came from you and me [03:10.26]Oh and while the King was looking down [03:14.37]The jester stole his thorny crown [03:17.86]The courtroom was adjourned [03:21.33]No verdict was returned [03:24.31]And while Lennon read a book of Marx [03:28.25]The quartet practiced in the park [03:31.68]And we sang dirges in the dark [03:35.09]The day the music died [03:40.81]We were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie [03:45.04]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [03:49.03]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [03:52.21]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [03:56.22]This'll be the day that I die [04:01.60]Helter Skelter in a summer swelter [04:04.55]The byrds flew off with a fallout shelter [04:08.70]Eight miles high and falling fast [04:14.19]It landed foul out on the grass [04:16.83]The players tried for a forward pass [04:20.24]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast [04:26.98]Now the half-time air was sweet perfume [04:31.17]While the Sergeants played a marching tune [04:34.52]We all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance [04:41.27]'Cause the players tried to take the field [04:44.98]The marching band refused to yield [04:48.47]Do you recall what was revealed [04:51.57]The day the music died [04:57.25]We started singing bye-bye Miss American Pie [05:01.86]Drove my chevy to the levee But the levee was dry [05:05.81]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [05:08.72]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [05:12.74]This'll be the day that I die [05:17.02]Oh and there we were all in one place [05:21.68]A generation Lost in Space [05:25.14]With no time left to start again [05:29.61]So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick [05:33.80]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick [05:36.84]'Cause fire is the devil's only friend [05:43.79]Oh and as I watched him on the stage [05:47.05]My hands were clenched in fists of rage [05:51.23]No angel born in hell [05:54.61]Could break that satan's spell [05:57.20]And as the flames climbed high into the night [06:01.40]To light the sacrificial rite [06:04.59]I saw Satan laughing with delight [06:08.26]The day the music died [06:14.14]He was singing bye-bye Miss American Pie [06:18.36]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [06:22.30]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [06:25.46]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [06:29.56]This'll be the day that I die [06:35.87]I met a girl who sang the blues [06:39.10]And I asked her for some happy news [06:43.24]But she just smiled and turned away [06:47.86]I went down to the sacred store [06:50.87]Where I'd heard the music years before [06:54.69]But the man there said the music wouldn't play [07:02.82]And in the streets the children screamed [07:07.33]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [07:10.52]But not a word was spoken [07:14.04]The church bells all were broken [07:18.91]And the three men I admire most [07:22.76]The Father Son and the Holy Ghost [07:26.71]They caught the last train for the coast [07:30.71]The day the music died [07:37.67]And they were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie [07:45.31]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [07:50.93]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [07:56.00]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [08:01.92]This'll be the day that I die [08:07.50]They were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie [08:13.69]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [08:18.58]Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye [08:22.78]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
