Long, long time ago

Oh I can still remember

How the music used to make me smile

'N 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 delivered

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't face one more step

Oh I can't remember if I cried

When they told me about his widowed bride

But something touched me here inside

The day the music died

Or did it.......
