Mott The Hoople - American Pie (excerpt) lyrics

A 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 But February made us shiver With every paper we'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step Oh, I can't remember if I cried When they told me 'bout his widowed bride But something touched me here inside The day the music died Or did it?
