Lyrics
0:00Starry starry night
0:05Paint your palette blue and gray
0:10Look out on a summer's day
0:13With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
0:17Shadows on the hills
0:22Sketch the trees and the daffodils
0:27Catch the breeze and the winter chills
0:31In colors on the snowy linen land
0:37Now I understand
0:42What you tried to say to me
0:47How you suffered for your sanity
0:52How you tried to set them free
0:55They would not listen
0:56They did not know how
1:01Perhaps they'll listen now
1:06Starry starry night
1:11Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
1:16Swirling clouds in violet haze
1:20Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
1:24Colors changing hue
1:29Morning fields of amber grain
1:34Weathered faces lined in pain
1:37Are smoothed beneath the artist's Loving hand
1:42Now I understand
1:46What you tried to say to me
1:51How you suffered for your sanity
1:56How you tried to set them free
1:59They would not listen
2:00They did not know how
2:05Perhaps they'll listen now
2:07For they could not love you
2:12But still your love was true
2:17And when no hope was left inside
2:20On that starry starry night
2:24You took your life
2:26As lovers often do
2:30But I could have told you Vincent
2:32This world was never meant for one
2:35As beautiful as you
2:42Starry starry night
2:46Portraits hung in empty halls
2:52Frameless heads on nameless walls
2:55With eyes that watch the world
2:58And can't forget
2:59Like the strangers that you've met
3:03The ragged men in ragged clothes
3:08The silver thorn of bloody rose
3:12Lie crushed and broken
3:14On the virgin snow
3:16Now I think I know
3:21What you tried to say to me
3:26How you suffered for your sanity
3:31How you tried to set them free
3:34They will not listen
3:35They're not listening still
3:40Perhaps they never will
Starry starry night Paint your palette blue and gray 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 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 Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are smoothed 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 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 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 of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken On the virgin snow Now I think I know What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They will not listen They're not listening still Perhaps they never will
