American Pie lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics American Pie lyrics A long long time ago, 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 ev ry paper I d deliver Bad news on the door step I couldn t take one more step I can t remember if I creid When I read about this widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died, so *Bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levy But the levy was dry Then good old boys Were drinkin whiskey in Rye Singin 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 and roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me How to dance real slow Well I know that you re in love with him Cause I saw you dancin in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Then I digged those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin buck With a pink carnation and a pick up truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died, I started singing (Repeat *) 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 men there said The music wouldn t play But in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a world was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three man I admire most The father son and holy ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singin (Repeat *) That night we gave it hell on the stage Like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page From the Band which is nevermore Wed just found out their drummer died And we really really must abide The rules of Rock n Roll I picked up a can of drink Then threw it back to the ground We played that song again With it s beautiful refrain And we remembered (Repeat *) song lyrics
