A long long time ago
I can still
remember how
that music used to
make me smile
An' 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
l'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
Something touched
me deep inside
the day
the music died
So 'bye 'bye
Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy
t0 the levee
But the levee was dry
Did you write the
Book of Love
And do you have
faith in God above
if the Bible
tells you so
Do you believe

in rock and roll
Can music save your
mortal soul and can
you teach me how to

dance real slow
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 while the King
was looking down
the Jester stole
his soiled crown
The court room
was adjourned
N0 verdict was
returned
And while Lennon
read a book on Marx
the court took
practice in the park
And we sang dirges
in the dark
The day

the music died
We were singin'
'Bye 'bye
Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy
t0 the levee
But the levee was dry
