Lyrics
0:12Starry starry night
0:17Paint your palette blue and gray
0:22Look out on a summer's day
0:26With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
0:30Shadows on the hills
0:34Sketch the trees and the daffodils
0:39Catch the breeze and the winter chills
0:43In colors on the snowy linen land
0:47Now I understand
0:52What you tried to say to me
0:56How you suffered for your sanity
1:02How you tried to set them free
1:05They would not listen they did not know how
1:12Perhaps they'll listen now
1:17Starry starry night
1:21Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
1:26Swirling clouds in violet haze
1:31Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
1:35Colors changing hue
1:39Morning fields of amber grain
1:44Weathered faces lined in pain
1:48Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
1:53Now I understand
1:57What you tried to say to me
2:02How you suffered for your sanity
2:07How you tried to set them free
2:10They would not listen they did not know how
2:15Perhaps they'll listen now
2:18For they could not love you
2:23But still your love was true
2:28And when no hope was left inside
2:32On that starry starry night
2:35You took your life as lovers often do
2:42But I could have told you Vincent
2:46This world was never meant
2:49For one as beautiful as you
2:54Starry starry night
2:59Portraits hung in empty halls
3:04Frameless heads on nameless walls
3:08With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
3:12Like the strangers that you've met
3:17The ragged men in ragged clothes
3:22The silver thorn of bloody rose
3:26Like crushed and broken on the virgin snow
3:30Now I think I know
3:35What you tried to say to me
3:40How you suffered for your sanity
3:45How you tried to set them free
3:48They did not listen they're not listening still
3:56Perhaps 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 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 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 Like 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 did not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
