Lyrics
0:00Starry, starry night
0:05Paint your palette blue and grey
0:09Look out on a summer's day
0:12With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
0:16Shadows on the hills
0:21Sketch the trees and the daffodils
0:25Catch the breeze and the winter chills
0:28In colors on the snowy linen land
0:34Now I understand
0:39What you tried to say to me
0:43And how you suffered for your sanity
0:48And how you tried to set them free
0:50They would not listen, they did not know how
0:55Perhaps they'll listen now
0:59Starry, starry night
1:04Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
1:09Swirling clouds in a violet haze
1:12Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
1:16Colors changing hue
1:20Morning fields of amber grain
1:25Weathered faces lined in pain
1:28Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
1:31Now I understand
1:36What you tried to say to me
1:40How you suffered for your sanity
1:44How you tried to set them free
1:47They would not listen, they did not know how
1:52Perhaps they'll listen now
1:54For they could not love you
1:58But still your love was true
2:03And when no hope was left in sight
2:06On that starry, starry night
2:09You took your life, as lovers often do
2:13But I could've told you, Vincent
2:16This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
2:24Starry, starry night
2:28Portraits hung in empty halls
2:33Frameless heads on nameless walls
2:36With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
2:40Like the strangers that you've met
2:45The ragged men in ragged clothes
2:49The silver thorn on the bloody rose
2:52Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
2:58Now I think I know
3:03What you tried to say to me
3:07And how you suffered for your sanity
3:12And how you tried to set them free
3:15They would not listen, they're not listening still
3:21Perhaps they never will
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 Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen 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 did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in a violet haze Reflect in 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 Now I understand What you tried to say 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 took your life, as lovers often do But I could've 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 forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn on the 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 would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
