[00:00.00]American Pie (美国派) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)
[00:00.75]Composed by：Don McLean
[00:01.50]A long long time ago
[00:05.06]I can still remember
[00:07.59]How that music used to make me smile
[00:12.98]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:16.89]That I could make those people dance
[00:19.56]And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:26.70]But February made me shiver
[00:29.86]With every paper I'd deliver
[00:33.85]Bad news on the doorstep
[00:37.23]I couldn't take one more step
[00:41.83]I can't remember if I cried
[00:44.85]When I read about his widowed bride
[00:49.74]But something touched me deep inside
[00:54.07]The day the music died
[01:03.98]So bye-bye Miss American Pie
[01:08.55]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[01:13.63]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[01:18.11]Singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[01:23.60]"This'll be the day that I die"
[01:30.12]Did you write the book of love
[01:32.21]And do you have faith in God above
[01:36.66]If the Bible tells you so
[01:40.80]Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
[01:44.52]Can music save your mortal soul
[01:48.04]And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:54.47]Well I know that you're in love with him
[01:57.98]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:01.79]You both kicked off your shoes
[02:04.90]Man I dig those rhythm and blues
[02:08.18]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:11.79]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:15.45]But I knew I was out of luck
[02:18.57]The day the music died
[02:24.35]I started singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[02:28.60]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[02:32.59]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[02:35.63]And singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[02:39.67]"This'll be the day that I die"
[02:44.56]Now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:48.17]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:51.96]But that's not how it used to be
[02:56.63]When the jester sang for the king and queen
[03:00.12]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:03.78]And a voice that came from you and me
[03:10.56]Oh and while the king was looking down
[03:14.57]The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:18.04]The courtroom was adjourned
[03:21.45]No verdict was returned
[03:24.50]And while Lennon read a book on Marx
[03:28.41]The quartet practiced in the park
[03:31.80]And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:35.17]The day the music died
[03:40.96]We were singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[03:45.06]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[03:48.99]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[03:51.96]And singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[03:56.16]"This'll be the day that I die"
[04:01.50]Helter skelter in a summer swelter
[04:04.56]The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:08.72]Eight miles high and fallin' fast
[04:14.08]It landed foul on the grass
[04:16.90]The players tried for a forward pass
[04:19.97]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:26.93]Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:30.80]While the sergeants played a marching tune
[04:34.54]We all got up to dance
[04:37.20]Oh but we never got the chance
[04:40.94]'Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:45.02]The marching band refused to yield
[04:48.50]Do you recall what was revealed
[04:51.35]The day the music died
[04:57.11]We started singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[05:01.48]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[05:05.51]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[05:08.35]And singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[05:12.54]"This'll be the day that I die"
[05:16.90]Oh and there we were all in one place
[05:21.22]A generation lost in space
[05:24.70]With no time left to start again
[05:29.21]So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick
[05:33.46]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:36.12]'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
[05:43.21]Oh and as I watched him on the stage
[05:46.93]My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:50.86]No angel born in hell
[05:54.16]Could break that Satan's spell
[05:56.79]And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:01.06]To light the sacrificial rite
[06:04.21]I saw Satan laughing with delight
[06:07.71]The day the music died
[06:13.68]He was singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[06:17.98]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[06:21.70]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[06:24.66]And singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[06:28.86]"This'll be the day that I die"
[06:35.15]I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:38.41]And I asked her for some happy news
[06:42.51]But she just smiled and turned away
[06:47.29]I went down to the sacred store
[06:50.35]Where I'd heard the music years before
[06:54.14]But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:02.06]And in the streets the children screamed
[07:06.38]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
[07:09.89]But not a word was spoken
[07:13.43]The church bells all were broken
[07:17.97]And the three men I admire most
[07:21.92]The Father Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:25.79]They caught the last train for the coast
[07:29.86]The day the music died
[07:37.03]And they were singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[07:44.53]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[07:50.16]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[07:55.36]Singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
[08:01.27]"This'll be the day that I die"
[08:06.66]They were singin'"Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
[08:12.64]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[08:17.72]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
[08:22.02]Singin'"This'll be the day that I die"
