American Pie Lyrics - Singles - Madonna

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 roll 

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 teenage 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' 

Bye bye Miss American Pie 

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry 

And good 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 turned 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 

Photos 

Well now in the streets the children screamed (the children screamed) 

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed (the poets dreamed) 

But not a word was spoken (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' 

Bye bye Miss American Pie 

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry 

And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye 

Singin', "This will be the day that I die, 

This will be the day that I die." 

Bye bye Miss American Pie 

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry 

And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye 

Singin', "This will be the day that I die, 

This will be the day that I die." 

We started singin' 

We started singin' 

We started singin' 

We started singin'
