Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Starry, starry night
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
And now I under stand
What you tried to s ay to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Ref lecting Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
And now I under stand
What you tried to s ay to me
How you suffered for your sanity
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 no hope was left in sight on that
Starry, starry night
You t ook your life as lovers o ften do
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't for get
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in r agged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know
What you tried to s ay to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
