I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance, and maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep ... I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride.

But something touched me deep inside, the day the music died.

refrain

So ... Bye bye Miss American Pie,

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry, Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so?

Now do you believe in rock n' roll?

Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well I know you're in love with him, 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Man, I dig those rhythm 'n' blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.

But I knew that I was out of luck. The day the music died I started singing...

refrain

Now for ten years we've been on our own, and moss grows fat on a rolling stone. But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen, in a coat he borrowed from James Dean. And in a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown.

The courtroom was adjourned, No verdict was returned.
And while Lennon read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park, and we sang fdirges in the dark

The day the music died. We were singing...

refrain

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

The birds flew off with the fallout shelter, eight miles high and falling fast, it landed foul on the grass.

The players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume

While sergeants played a marching tune

We all god up to dance, oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed, the day the muisic died? We started singing

refrain

And there we were all in one place

A generation lost in space, with no time left to start again

So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick

Jack Flash sat on a candlestick.

'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could break that satan's spell.

And as the flames climbed high into the nights to light the sacrifical rite

I saw satan laughing with delight

The day the music died, He was singing

refrain

I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news, But she just smiled and turned away.

I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before

But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken. The church bells all wewre broken.

And the three men I admire most, the Father Son and Holy Ghost ...

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died

And there were singing ...

Here lies a toppled god,
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.
