American Pie

作詞：Don Mclean
作曲：Don Mclean

A long, long time ago I can still remember.
How that music used to make me smile And I knew that if I had my chance.
I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
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 roil.
And 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 Man, I dig those rhythm 'n blues I was a lonely tecnage 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 singin' (chorus) Bye bye Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy to the the levee but the levee was dry And goof ol'
boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin ,'this will be the day that i die.
This will be the day that I die.' I met a girl who sang the blues And I
asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and tured away Well
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 Well now in the streets the
children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken
The Church bells all were broken And the three men I admire the most.
The father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast.
The day the music died. we start singin'(chorus)(chorus)
