Key of Dreams - American Pie

[00:00.26]a long long time ago
[00:03.96]i can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:12.26]and i knew if i had my chance
[00:15.96]that i could make those people dance
[00:18.72]and maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:25.80]but february made me shiver
[00:29.28]with every paper i'd deliver
[00:33.03]bad news on the doorstep
[00:36.36]i couldn't take one more step
[00:40.98]i can't remember if i cried
[00:43.94]when i read about his widowed bride
[00:49.08]but something touched me deep inside
[00:53.57]the day the music died
[01:03.26]so bye-bye miss american pie
[01:07.65]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[01:13.01]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:17.43]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[01:22.86]this'll be the day that i die
[01:29.31]did you write the book of love
[01:31.81]and do you have faith in god above
[01:36.07]if the bible tells you so
[01:40.26]and do you believe in rock 'n roll
[01:43.77]can music save your mortal soul
[01:47.20]and can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:53.73]well i know that you're in love with him
[01:57.49]'cause i saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:01.13]you both kicked off your shoes
[02:04.42]man i dig those rhythm and blues
[02:07.93]i was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:11.54]with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:14.90]but i knew i was out of luck
[02:18.16]the day the music died
[02:23.79]i started singin' bye-bye miss american pie
[02:28.43]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[02:32.47]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:35.28]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[02:39.23]this'll be the day that i die
[02:44.29]now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:47.99]and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:51.72]but that's not how it used to be
[02:56.39]when the jester sang for the king and queen
[03:00.10]in a coat he borrowed from james dean
[03:03.67]and a voice that came from you and me
[03:10.26]oh and while the king was looking down
[03:14.37]the jester stole his thorny crown
[03:17.86]the courtroom was adjourned
[03:21.33]no verdict was returned
[03:24.31]and while lennon read a book of marx
[03:28.25]the quartet practiced in the park
[03:31.68]and we sang dirges in the dark
[03:35.09]the day the music died
[03:40.81]we were singing bye-bye miss american pie
[03:45.04]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[03:49.03]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:52.21]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[03:56.22]this'll be the day that i die
[04:01.60]helter skelter in a summer swelter
[04:04.55]the byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:08.70]eight miles high and falling fast
[04:14.19]it landed foul out on the grass
[04:16.83]the players tried for a forward pass
[04:20.24]with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:26.98]now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:31.17]while the sergeants played a marching tune
[04:34.52]we all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance
[04:41.27]'cause the players tried to take the field
[04:44.98]the marching band refused to yield
[04:48.47]do you recall what was revealed
[04:51.57]the day the music died
[04:57.25]we started singing bye-bye miss american pie
[05:01.86]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[05:05.81]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[05:08.72]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[05:12.74]this'll be the day that i die
[05:17.02]oh and there we were all in one place
[05:21.68]a generation lost in space
[05:25.14]with no time left to start again
[05:29.61]so come on jack be nimble jack be quick
[05:33.80]jack flash sat on a candlestick
[05:36.84]'cause fire is the devil's only friend
[05:43.79]oh and as i watched him on the stage
[05:47.05]my hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:51.23]no angel born in hell
[05:54.61]could break that satan's spell
[05:57.20]and as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:01.40]to light the sacrificial rite
[06:04.59]i saw satan laughing with delight
[06:08.26]the day the music died
[06:14.14]he was singing bye-bye miss american pie
[06:18.36]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[06:22.30]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:25.46]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[06:29.56]this'll be the day that i die
[06:35.87]i met a girl who sang the blues
[06:39.10]and i asked her for some happy news
[06:43.24]but she just smiled and turned away
[06:47.86]i went down to the sacred store
[06:50.87]where i'd heard the music years before
[06:54.69]but the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:02.82]and in the streets the children screamed
[07:07.33]the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
[07:10.52]but not a word was spoken
[07:14.04]the church bells all were broken
[07:18.91]and the three men i admire most
[07:22.76]the father son and the holy ghost
[07:26.71]they caught the last train for the coast
[07:30.71]the day the music died
[07:37.67]and they were singing bye-bye miss american pie
[07:45.31]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[07:50.93]and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:56.00]singin' this'll be the day that i die
[08:01.92]this'll be the day that i die
[08:07.50]they were singing bye-bye miss american pie
[08:13.69]drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[08:18.58]them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[08:22.78]singin' this'll be the day that i die
