Mott the Hoople - American Pie Lyrics

Long, long time ago
Oh, I can still remember
How the music used to make me smile

And we knew if we got a chance
That we could make the people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

Cause February made us shiver
With every paper we delivered
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't face one more step

Oh, I can't remember if I cried
When I heard about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died or did it
