Starry, starry night<BR>aint your palette blue and gray<BR>Look out on a summer's day<BR>With eyes that know the darkness in my soul<BR>Shadows on the hills<BR>Sketch the trees and the daffodils<BR>Catch the breeze and the winter chills<BR>In colors on the snowy linen land <BR>Now I understand<BR>What you tried to say to me<BR>And how you suffered for your sanity<BR>And how you tried to set them free<BR>They would not listen; they did not know how<BR>erhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night<BR>Flaming flowers that brightly blaze<BR>Swirling clouds in violet haze<BR>Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue<BR>Colors changing hue<BR>Morning fields of amber grain<BR>Weathered faces lined in pain<BR>Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand<BR>What you tried to say to me<BR>And how you suffered for your sanity<BR>And how you tried to set them free<BR>They would not listen; they did not know how<BR>erhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you<BR>But still, your love was true<BR>And when no hope was left inside<BR>On that starry, starry night<BR>You took your life as lovers often do<BR>But I could've told you, Vincent<BR>This world was never meant<BR>For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night<BR>ortraits hung in empty halls<BR>Frameless heads on nameless walls<BR>With eyes that watch the world and can't forget<BR>Like the strangers that you've met<BR>The ragged men in ragged clothes<BR>The silver thorn, a bloody rose<BR>Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know<BR>What you tried to say to me<BR>And how you suffered for your sanity<BR>And how you tried to set them free<BR>They would not listen; they're not listening still<BR>erhaps they never will
