Description
Parody by Ready2Fail of "American Pie" by Don McLean.

About a day ago,
I thought that I could bring you, bring you joy and, the things you deserved.
I thought that day was my only chance
For me to make you laugh and prance,
And it took all my will to finally get the nerve.

But when it came time I could only stammer,
And jumble my words, every single letter.
I didn't want to feel this-
I only wanted a little bliss.

Oh Roseluck you and your pretty mane,
So gorgeous, I could just go plain insane.
Those looks of yours really are my bane,
That smile could stop the rain.

So Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

Ever since we were really small,
I would gaze at you from across the hall,
In the hope of a passing glance.
Ah, every day would be the very best
When I could put your fears to rest,
And together we could just smile and dance!

And while I knew that you weren't all mine,
I'd remember to just give it time.
That one day maybe you'd see
How much you mean to me.

I always tried my best to keep you close,
As I knew in my heart, I loved you the most.
You never saw any need to boast,
Even when you won my heart.

So now I'm asking,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

I can still look back to that fateful day,
When I saw all your sadness just wash away
And you finally got your mark.
That rose on your flank suited you just right,
And it gave your eyes so much more light,
There was nothing better to get you out of the dark.

Oh, it was then I knew what I had to do,
To show you my love, so pure and true.
I'd give you one simple thing,
And it'd be this here ring.

So it led all up to yesterday,
Where my courage just wouldn't stay,
So now I'm finding some to say,
These words, here in this song.

And I'm singing,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

In your case your face makes my heart race,
Where other mares seem so… commonplace,
Nopony can compare to you.
'Specially when you wink your eyes,
I feel like my heart may just die,
From the cuteness, that only you pull off like you do.

I really hope I can make you smile,
And that you know I'll go through any trial,
To make sure that you're pleased,
And guard you if you get teased.

While other colts try to make me stop,
I'll plow through them until I drop,
And I will rise right to the top,
For you, the one I love.

I'm still singing,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

Oh, and you know that if it's a yes,
I'll have a marshmallow make you a dress,
One with frills and beauty galore.
Of course in your mane I'd stick in a rose,
One that compliments your perfect clothes,
And together we could trot right out that door.

Oh, and the opportunities,
Before us, just you and me.
We can make our lives surreal,
As joy will be what we feel.

So I'm asking you straight from my heart,
To make it so we aren't ever apart,
With just one word you can make that start,
Together we could stay.

Do you see now,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

I understand though if you don't want me,
I'm not the best buck, as you can see,
But I'll do my best and really try.
I'll give everything I have to you:
My time, my life, my love so true.
And I promise to you I will never, ever lie.

I'll be with you through thick and thin,
In times so dark it seems we can't win.
I'd pull us up and make there be
A way for both of us to see

That together we can remain strong,
And beat back whatever's wrong.
That together we can stay real long,
Until the day we die.

And now I'm singing,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
I really had to give it a try.

And now I'm singing,
Roseluck, please, would you be my bride?
All those things I have said, only once have I lied-
By saying maybe I'm worthy to be by your side,
But I knew that I had to give it a try.
