Prima Dona
Prima Dona - American Pie (New Version) lyrics
Your rating:
A long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance, That 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 and roll 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 dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes, Man, I dig those rhythm and 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 singing So bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing 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 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 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 were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this will be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die They were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this will be the day that I die...
