The King's Singers Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.American Pie

Lyricist:Don Mclean

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
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, â½This'll be the day that I dieâ
â½This'll be the day that I dieâ

Now for ten years, we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling 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

And we were singing, â½Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, â½This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I dieâ

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 sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

And he was singing, â½Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, â½This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I dieâ

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, â½Bye-bye, Miss American Pieâ
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, âThis'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I dieâ

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
Singing, â½This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I dieâ
Singing, â½This'll be the day that I dieâ


2.Good Vibrations

Lyricist:Mike Love, Brian Wilson

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

Ooh, my, my what elation
I don't know where but she sends me there
Ooh, my, my what a sensation
Ooh, my, my what elation
Ooh, my, my what

Gotta keep those lovin' good
Vibrations a happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good
Vibrations a happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good
Vibrations a happenin'

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me

Good vibrations
Good vibrations
Good vibrations
Good vibrations
Good vibrations


3.Love Is Stronger Than Pride

Lyricist:Adu, Hale, Matthewman

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Though I have tried, hmm

I still really, really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really, really love you, hmm

I won't pretend
That I intend to stop living
I won't pretend
I'm good at forgiving

Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear
Things come and go

Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even be snow

I still really, really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really, really love you
Love is stronger than pride
Love is stronger than pride
Love is stronger than pride

Stronger than pride
Love is stronger than
Love is stronger than


4.Cecilia

Lyricist:Dave Dreyer, Herman Ruby

Celia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home

Celia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon
With Cecilia up in my bedroom
(Making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

Celia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and I laughing
Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and I laughing

Jubilation, she loves me again
(She loves me again)
Oh, Cecelia


5.Please Let Me Wonder

Lyricist:Mike Love, Brian Wilson

Now here we are together
This would've been worth waiting forever
I always knew it'd feel this way

And please forgive my shaking
Can't you tell my heart is breaking?
Can't make myself say what I planned to say

Baby, please let me wonder
(If I've been the one you love)
Please let me wonder
(If I'm who you're dreaming of)
Please let me wonder, love

I built all my goals around you
That some day my love would surround you
You'll never know what we've been through

For so long, I thought about it
And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you

Baby, please let me wonder
(If I've been the one you love)
Please let me wonder
(If I'm who you're dreaming of)
Please let me wonder, love

Please let me wonder
(If I've been the one you love)
Please let me wonder
(If I'm who you're dreaming of)
Please let me wonder, love
(I love you)
