Lyrics:
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to
make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
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
Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll
And 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
'Cos 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 pick-up truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing 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 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

Well now, in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
Tho church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

We started singin'

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'

This is one of my favorite Madonna songs of all time: magical, mystical, sorrowful, painful & beautiful. All in one.

[___paul]

How sweet & warm Madonna’s voice is!!!

[fer-nando-machado]

Don McLean, songwriter, about Madonna covering his song:
"It is a gift for her to have recorded 'American Pie'. I think it is sensual and mystical. I also feel that she's chosen autobiographical verses that reflect her career and personal history. I have received many gifts from God but this is the first time I have ever received a gift from a goddess."

[hyunchanroh]

It's a great song with a good melody and good lyrics.. I love you Americans and America.

[songolmartin]

I listened to it every morning on my way to school. Returns all childhood memories

[chuchitoman]

Ray of light, Music, American life and Confessions on a dance floor was the best and most beautiful era of Madonna. No one like her.

[KJ-kgkc]

Whatever you think of Madonna currently. You cannot dismiss the quality of music and production quality of pretty much all of her back catalogue. Her legacy will last for many many years.

[louiez.]

For me, Madonna's best albums and songs are those with the collaboration of the brilliant William Orbit.

[michaelsf]

Madonna's videos between 90s and mid 2000s are my favorite ones, so many amazing directors with amazing way of creating something, i'm amazed how only Madonna has the best Remastered music videos with really high quality, most of the artists here who receive Remastering are not that clean, very few artist have a good team.

[franklynsolis]

Madonna, since I was a little boy, I have heard your music at home, because my parents taught me to love you. I am really grateful for your legacy, thank you for sharing yourself with all of us.

[xxcentrika]

I love this song. One of Madonna's favorite eras.

[seiren]

I remember getting this on tape with my pocket money when I was at highschool, taking it to my bedroom and playing it on repeat while sitting on my bed, sun shining through the window, learning all the lyrics, now when I hear it, it reminds me how fast times flies by, one minute you are a teenager the next you are in your 30's listening to the same song which hits you so differently because of the nostalgia..both happy and sad feelings.

[ginasousabranco]

International smash hit!
American Pie was the 4th best selling single of 2000 WW.
The single was No. 1 in over a dozen countries.
Is one of Madonna 17 European Hot 100 No. 1's.

[raoufkamel]

We're in 2020 and I still have the impression that this came out 10 years ago. Time flies.... 20 years !

[Porygon]

Thank you Madonna for all your music that you made. You are one of my most favourite music interpretes.

[elchacalmx]

Pure nostalgia, this song gives me the feeling of nostalgia, pride or something like that even though I'm not from that country, it also reminds me of when I turned on the TV and switched to the MTV channel, the end of the 90's and the beginning of the 21st century

[sidjalang]

i wonder how are all these people in the video doing right now.

i used to watched this video on MTV when i was a kid. MTV was at its best era at that time i guess. a sweet memory tho.

[darksideofthemood]

the older i get the more i understand this song.
i used to dance to it, now i just feel nostalgic and sad.

[Tondezonline]

Goodbye America, you were a thing of beauty

[maxcastillo]

Recuerdo muy bien en el año 2.000 cuando tenia 13 años, estaba sentado viendo la tv y pasaron este videoclip, quede impactado por la letra y el video, desde esa vez amé a Madonna, mi sueño es conocerla personalmente alguna vez aunque sé que eso sería casi imposible!!
