1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:09,789
A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

2
00:00:09,789 --> 00:00:18,109
And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance

3
00:00:18,629 --> 00:00:22,629
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

4
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:28,489
But February made me shiver

5
00:00:28,489 --> 00:00:31,929
With every paper I'd deliver

6
00:00:31,929 --> 00:00:35,490
Bad news on the doorstep

7
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:38,909
I couldn't take one more step

8
00:00:38,909 --> 00:00:43,869
I can't remember if I cried

9
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:47,829
When I read about his widowed bride

10
00:00:47,829 --> 00:00:52,969
But something touched me deep inside

11
00:00:52,969 --> 00:00:59,009
The day the music died

12
00:00:59,009 --> 00:01:07,609
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie

13
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:10,370
Drove my Chevy to the levee

14
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:12,489
But the levee was dry

15
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:15,010
And them good old boys

16
00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,290
Were drinking whiskey and rye

17
00:01:17,290 --> 00:01:20,849
Singing this'll be the day that I die

18
00:01:20,849 --> 00:01:26,209
This'll be the day that I die

19
00:01:26,209 --> 00:01:31,790
Did you write the book of love

20
00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:35,269
And do you have faith in God above

21
00:01:35,269 --> 00:01:38,609
If the Bible tells you so

22
00:01:38,609 --> 00:01:43,730
And do you believe in rock and roll

23
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:47,290
Can music save your mortal soul

24
00:01:47,290 --> 00:01:52,409
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

25
00:01:53,469 --> 00:01:57,290
Well, I know that you're in love with him

26
00:01:57,290 --> 00:02:00,829
Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

27
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:03,709
You both kicked off your shoes

28
00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:07,049
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

29
00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:11,069
I was a lonely teenage bronc and buck

30
00:02:11,069 --> 00:02:14,550
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

31
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:22,490
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died

32
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:28,189
I started singing, bye-bye, Miss American Pie

33
00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:31,789
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry

34
00:02:31,789 --> 00:02:35,270
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

35
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:38,069
And singing, this'll be the day that I die

36
00:02:38,069 --> 00:02:41,750
This'll be the day that I die

37
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:51,669
now for 10 years we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but

38
00:02:51,669 --> 00:03:00,710
that's not how it used to be when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat
