“A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile”
Don McLean (1945) American Singer and songwriter
Song lyrics, American Pie (1971), American Pie
Context: 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.
Robin Williams (1951–2014) American actor and stand-up comedian
