A long, long time ago
2
I can still remember how that music used to
3
Make me smile
4
And I knew that if I had my chance
5
I could make those people dance
6
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
7
Did you write the book of love
8
And do you have faith in God above
9
If the Bible tells you so
10
Now do you believe in Rock '' roll
11
And can music save your mortal soul
12
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
13
Well, I know that you're in love with him
14
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
15
You both kicked off your shoes
16
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
17
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
18
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
19
But I knew that I was out of luck
20
The day the music died
21
I started singing
22
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
23
Drove my Chevy to the levee
24
But the levee was dry
25
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and pie
26
Singing this'll be the day that I die
27
This'll be the day that I die
28
I met a girl who sang the blues
29
And I asked her for some happy news
30
But she just smiled and turned away
31
I went down to the sacred store
32
Where I'd heard the music years before
33
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
34
Well now, in the streets the children screamed
35
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
36
But not a word was spoken
37
Tho church bells all were broken
38
And the three men I admire the most
39
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
40
They caught the last train for the coast
41
The day the music died
42
We started singin'
43
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
44
Drove my Chevy to the levee
45
But the levee was dry
46
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
47
Singing this'll be the day that I die
48
This'll be the day that I die
49
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
50
Drove my Chevy to the levee
51
But the levee was dry
52
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
53
Singing this'll be the day that I die
54
This'll be the day that I die
55
We started singin'
56
We started singin'
57
We started singin'
58
We started singin'
