A long, long time ago
Oh, I can still remember
How the music used to make me smile
And we knew if we got a chance
That we could make the people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made us shiver
With every paper we'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
Oh, I can't remember if I cried
When they told me 'bout his widowed bride
But something touched me here inside
The day the music died
Or did it?
