Songtexte American Pie - Live - 張國榮

A long, long time ago
I can still remember it
How the 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?
Do you believe in rock 'n' 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 dancin' in a gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage buggin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day that music died
I started singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
The levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
And this'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked for her some happy news
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
And 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 Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
They started singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
The levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
And this'll be the day that I die
(They started singing)
They started singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
The levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
And this'll be the day that I die
(So do it again, American pie!)
(Thank you)
