A long long time ago
I can still remember how

that music used to make
me smile

And I knew ifl had my
chance
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
that music used to make
me smile

And I knew ifl 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
. '11, .l'd deliver ' ' '

Bad neWs on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more
stsipl -

I can't rememberifif'l' cried '
Wham read about his '
widowed bride

And something Equchw me
deep inside

The day the music died
