American Pie (Live In Hong Kong / 2000) - 张国荣 (Leslie Cheung)

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

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

I met a girl who sang the blues

And i asked for her 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

And 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

And this'll be the day that i die
