Vincent Starry Starry Night Lyrics

Starry, starry night 

 Paint your pallet blue and grey 

 Look out on a summers day 

 With eyes that know the darkness in my soul  

  

 Shadows on the hills  

 Sketch the trees and daffodils  

 Catch the breeze and the winter chills  

 In colors on the snowy lined land  

  

 Now I understand 

 What you tried to say to me  

 And how you suffered for your sanity  

 And how you tried to set them free  

  

 They would not listen  

 They do not know how  

  

 Perhaps they'll listen now  

  

 Starry, starry night  

 Flaming flowers that brightly blazed 

 Swirling clouds and violet haze 

 Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue  

  

 Colors changing hue  

 Morning fields of amber grey  

 Whethered faces lined in pain  

 Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand  

  

 Now I understand  

 What you tired to say to me  

 And how you suffered for your sanity  

 And how you tried to set them free  

  

 They would not listen  

 They did not know how  

  

 Perhaps they'll listen now  

  

 For they could not love you  

 But still your love was true  

 And when your hope was left inside  

 On that starry, starry night  

 You took your life as lovers often do  

  

 But I could have told you Vincent  

 This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you  

  

 Like the strangers that you've met  

 The ragged man in ragged clothes  

 The silver thorn  

 A bloody rose  

 Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow  

  

 Now I think I know 

 What you tried to say to me  

 And how you suffered for your sanity  

 And how you tried to set them free  

  

 They were not listening  

 They're not listening still  

  

 Perhaps they never will
