A long long time ago

[rubyslipperlover]

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

 

[disneysteve]

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

 

[rubyslipperlover]

I can't remember if I cried when I
Read about his widowed bride
but something touchec me deep inside
the day the music died...

 

[disneysteve]

Come on people. Surely we're not the only two here who know this song.

So bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy (sp?)
But the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die...

 

[rubyslipperlover]

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?

 

[yourtravelpro]

Well I know that your 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

 

[shortbun]

I was a lonely teenage broncin buck
with a pink carnation and a pick up truck
but I knew 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 drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die...

Now for ten years we've been on our own,
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

 

[Papa Deuce]

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

Ugh...please make it stop.

 

[yourtravelpro]

Don't read it!

 

[Rowena]

And while the king was looking down,
the jester stole his thorny crown,,
the courtroom was adjourned....

NO verdict was returned.

And while Lennin read a book on Marx,
A quartet praticed in the park,
and we sang dirges in the dark,
the day the music died.

(Sorry Papa Duece. I do love this song. Have since I was a kid.)

thyewere singing
bye bye Miss American Pie
drove my chevy to the levy byut 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 die.

helter skelter in a summer swelter
the byrds flew off in a fallout shelter
8 miles high and falling fast
it landed foul on the grass
the players tried for a forward pass
with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
