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, âThis'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)
