It was the night
The night the music died
When all the stars above
Turned off their lights and fell away

There was no bird
Who dared to sing a song
Something had gone wrong
That took the magic spell away

I felt a shock so hard
I thought it would be tearin' me apart
When I find out
You decided we were through

You simply turned
Leaving me with all the pain inside
That was the night the music died

It was the night
The night the music died
You walked out on me
And I was left to cry alone

There was a chill
That froze out every sound
My feet were off the ground
Yet I couldn't fly away

I felt a shock so hard
I thought it would be tearin' me apart
When I find out
You decided we were through

You simply turned
Leaving me with all the pain inside
That was the night the music died

Hey, stillness was all around
Yet suddenly
I heard a silent cry
Please don't let it be

It was the night
The night the music died
When all the stars above
Turned off their lights and just fell away, away

There was no bird
Who dared to sing a song
Something had gone wrong
That took the magic spell away

I felt a shock so hard
I thought it would be tearin' me apart
When I find out
You decided we were through

You simply turned
Leaving me with all the pain inside
That was the night the music died

It was the night
The night the music died
