The Night The Music Died lyrics

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
