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
But Febraury made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember I cried
When I heard about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells it so.
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
Cos I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I digged those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage bronking buck
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
Well I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
