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 February 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 if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
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 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 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 them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' 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
Oh' and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh' but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singing
Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Oh' and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on' Jack be nimble' Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Oh' and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll 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
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 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 drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
They were singing bye-bye' Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
感想：
我很喜歡那種溫柔，淡淡的聲音。
其實比較起這首，我還是喜歡And I love you so。
但是這首也很淡，好像在吟詩，非常美麗的感覺。
有種錯覺：像是身處復古時候的歐洲，在風中輕輕吟唱一首詩歌。
感覺就像在聽古風的中文歌時候，像是身處千年前的中國，聽著市井小民哼唱詩經和樂府。
這種欣賞音樂的感覺，是相同的。
Starry starry night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer\'s day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they\'ll listen now.
Starry starry night
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in Vincent\'s eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain
are smoothed beneath the artist\'s loving hand.
And now I understand
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they\'ll listen now.
For they could not love you
but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight on that
starry starry night.
You took your life as lovers often do'
But I could have told you Vincent
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Starry starry night
portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes that watch the world and can\'t forget.
Like the stranger that you\'ve met
the ragged men in ragged clothes
the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they\'re not listening still
perhaps they never will.

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my believe
And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
And I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them...I don't know
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do [CD version]
All the stuff that you do [radio edited version]
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus x2]
[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
It's four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlines
I've made a living with a song
Just a guitar as mypanion
Wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children
They grow fat on fantasy
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference
between dreaming and pretending
I did not find paradise
It was only a reflection
of my lonely mind searching
For what was missing in my life
I'm embarassed to say
the rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
I never knew it was you
who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
You did not
Yes a heart can hallucinate
If it'spletely starved for love
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above
You forged my love like a weapon
And turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
But you opened up my eyes
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference
between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection
of my lonely mind wanting
what was missing in my life
And growing up is not the absence of dreaming
It's being able to understand
the difference between the ones you can hold
And the ones that you've been sold
Dreaming is a good thing
cause it brings new things to life
Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what you've been told
Well, truth is stranger than fiction
And this is my chance to get it right
Life is much better
without all of your pretty lies
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
You can keep your yellow brick road
there is a difference
between dreaming and pretending
There`s not tears in my eyes
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
I find what`s missing in my life
Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
[CHORUS]
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
Oh(Oh) Oh(Oh) Oh Oh
I'm laying here dreaming, Staring at the ceiling
Wasting the day away
The world's flying by our window outside
But hey baby thats OK
This feels so right it can't be wrong
So far, as I can see
Where you wanna go baby
I'll do anything
Cause if you wanna go, Baby let's go
If you wanna rock on, ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk, Baby let's walk
Have a little kiss, have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all
We can lay here forever
Stay here forever
Oh Oh Oh Oh
If you wanna see that Italian tower leaning
Baby we can leave right now
If that's too far
We can jump in the car, and take a little trip around town
They say that California is nice and warm this time of year
Baby, say the word, and we'll just disappear
(Chorus)
If you wanna rock on, ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk, Baby let's walk
Have a little kiss, have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all
We can lay here forever
Stay here forever
Oh, It's a big world for a boy and a girl
Letting go of it all
Holding on to one another
Oh, there's a whole lot of world to discover
Under the covers
So if you wanna go, Baby lets go
If you wanna rock, I'm ready to roll
If you wanna slow down
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk, Baby lets walk
Have a little kiss, have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all
We can lay here forever
Stay here forever
Let's just lay here forever
Stay here forever
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
