Something touched me deep inside The day the music died.

And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

When people ask me what 'American Pie' means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.

I want to create this magical moment when a kid is sitting on a parent's lap and they're reading a story together where both the kid and the parent learn.

I want the world to see my body.

I know life is hard but we can always find hope in music and wash away our tears

Few criminals die sensible of their crimes.

You know of the how, but I know of the how-less.
