American Pie - The King's Singers[00:00:01]
A long long time ago,i can still remember[00:00:03]
How that music used to make me smile[00:00:08]
And i could make those people dance[00:00:13]
That i could make those people dance[00:00:19]
And maybe , they'd be happy for a while[00:00:25]
But february made me shiver[00:00:27]
With every paper i'd deliver[00:00:31]
Bad news on the doorstep[00:00:35]
I couldn't take one more step[00:00:39]
I can't remember if i cried[00:00:44]
When i read about his widowed bride[00:00:47]
But something touched me deep inside[00:00:50]
The day the music died[00:00:55]
So bey-bey miss American pie[00:01:06]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:01:13]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:01:18]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:01:25]
This'll be the day that i diea[00:01:29]
Now for ten years, we've been on our own[00:01:31]
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone[00:01:41]
But that's not how it used to be[00:01:44]
When the jester sang for the king and queen[00:01:48]
In a coat he borrowed from james dean[00:01:54]
And a voice that came from you and me[00:01:57]
Oh and while the king was looking down[00:02:04]
The jester stole his thorny crown[00:02:08]
The courtroom was adjourned[00:02:11]
No verdict was returned[00:02:15]
And while lennon read a book of marx[00:02:18]
The quartet practiced in the park[00:02:22]
And we sang dirges in the dark[00:02:26]
The day the music died[00:02:29]
And we were singing , bey-bey miss American pie[00:02:35]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:02:39]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:02:43]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:02:47]
This'll be the day that i diea[00:02:51]
Oh and there we were all in one place[00:02:55]
A generation lost in space[00:02:59]
With no time left to start again[00:03:03]
So come on, jack be nimble, jack be quick[00:03:08]
Jack flash sat on a candlestick[00:03:12]
Cause fire is the devil's only friend[00:03:15]
Oh and as i watched him on the stage[00:03:22]
My hands were clenched in fists of rage[00:03:26]
No angel born in hell[00:03:29]
Could break that satan's spell[00:03:33]
And as the flames climbed high into the night[00:03:36]
To light the sacrificial rite[00:03:40]
I saw satan laughing with delight[00:03:42]
The day the music died[00:03:47]
And he was singing , bey-bey miss American pie[00:03:53]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:03:57]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:04:01]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:04:04]
This'll be the day that i diea[00:04:08]
I met a girl who sang the blues[00:04:09]
And i asked her for some happy news[00:04:19]
But she just smiled and turned away[00:04:23]
I went down to the sacred store[00:04:27]
Where i'd heard the music years before[00:04:31]
But the man there said the music wouldn't play[00:04:34]
And in the streets, the children screamed[00:04:42]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed[00:04:47]
But not a word was apoken[00:04:51]
The church bells, all were broken[00:04:53]
And the three men i admire most[00:05:00]
The father son and the holy ghost[00:05:04]
They caught the last train for the coast[00:05:08]
The day the music died[00:05:12]
And they were singsing, bey-bey miss American pie[00:05:22]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:05:31]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:05:37]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:05:42]
This'll be the day that i diea[00:05:47]
Bey-bey miss American pie[00:05:49]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:06:00]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:06:05]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:06:10]
This'll be the day that i diea[00:06:14]
Singing this'll be the day that i diea[00:06:17]
