American Pie (Richard 'Humpty' Vission radio mix)

A long long time ago

I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew that if I had one chance

I could make those people dance

And maybe they'd be happy for awhileDid 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 it teach me how to dance real slow

Well I know that your in love with him

'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

And I did Gods rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage brock of luck

With a great carnation and a pick up truck

But I knew that I was out of luck

The day the music died

I started singingBye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing

This will be the day that I die

This will be the day that I dieI 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 sachet store

Where I 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 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

I started singingBye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing

This will be the day that I die

This will be the day that I dieBye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing

This will be the day that I die

This will be the day that I dieWe started singing

We started singing

We started singing

We started singing
