《Vincent》和《American Pie》的歌詞如下：
《Vincent》
Starry starry night
Paint your palette the colors of night
Are you sleeping
Under the open sky
No one’s ever mastered
The colors of night like you
You rean old masterpiece
Soaked in emotion and light
Hang it in my window
For all the world to see
Beneath the pounding moon
Underneath the Milky Way
People are strange
When you’re adrift on the ocean of years
All of the lonely people
Wandering through life
Just searching for something
But they’re all alone
Come to the edge of town
And you’ll find someone who’s willing to dance with you
Vincent Vincent stay with me tonight
Oh won’t you stay with me forever tonight
Oh forever and ever
Vincent stay with me forever tonight
Oh forever and ever and ever
《American Pie》
1. 16 years ago today, I started to write a song
About a girl I knew named Michelle, who had a brother named Jim
He was a big, tall guy, with longish hair and sideburns
But back then I didn’t know it would be my gift to him.
2. But today I got to thinking as I dug up the old cassette
Of how he probably isn’t even listening to this. So let me take it back to ’67,
To 16-year-old Paul McCartney playing his latest hit for a teenage cousin, Eddie and his buddy, Eddie had just lost his grandpa. It seemed like the perfect day to do so, with just family and some crying sycamore leaves and “John” wouldn’t even stop.
And there’s one other part he may not know. A year before he wrote “Michelle” he wrote “The Night Before” which was about the day before he wrote “Michelle” and he wrote it for his own grandpa. So it’s kind of a double gift. And I guess that’s what it’s all about. The gift of music. It’s just a song, but it’s more than that. It’s a gift from a kid to his grandpa. It’s my dad when he heard he might have had pancreatic cancer and didn’t know what else to say except that I love you, son, that you could come over when they reopen his spleen in another two weeks, he knows you are here now. And I guess that’s what it’s all about. The gift of music. It’s just a song, but it’s more than that. It’s a gift from a son to his father.
3. It’s been a long time coming. A hard journey filled with stops and starts and many falls, and tears along the way. But when it finally happened, I realized it was a miracle, not just a song. It was an eternal moment, so I wrote it down, so I could remember it forever. And now I hope that they will play it for him one more time, for all of us to hear. For when we need to remember what it was like when we were young and hopeful and full of dreams. And I guess that’s what it’s all about. The gift of music. It’s just a song, but it can change the world, and if it doesn’t do that then I guess it wasn’t good enough for them so back to writing and keeping the gift forever intact! Goodbye Dad. Remember that moment when you had all these things in your heart? The dream, the life that is there still waiting for the perfect song or maybe another kind of time will do, time flies on by with you remembering our best moments! When our song will come back! 86 is where I found myself, trapped between trying to do things that are best left alone like get in a good mindset or whatever other fads people thought might make me some sort of big star. And it wasn’t until 2013 when I decided to take a break from touring for a few months before my next album release that I realized how much my dad really loved me and my music. He didn’t care if I was rich or famous, he just wanted me to be happy. And even though he couldn’t play the guitar or write songs or play music with me anymore he would listen to me sing his favorite songs like he always had, so here goes one last gift! This one for my mom because she really never left my side while we were going through all this hell! He taught me everything about life! When you fall down and feel like you can't get back up just remember he always believed in me and even though he can
