"Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" by Don McLean.
[Verse]
Starry, starry
night
Paint your pal
ette blue and
gray
Look out on a
summer's day
With eyes that
know the dark
ness in my sou
l
Shadows on the
hills
Sketch the tre
es and the daf
fodils
Catch the bree
ze and the win
ter chills
In colors on t
he snowy linen
land
[Chorus]
Now I understa
nd
What you tried
to say to me
And how you su
ffered for you
r sanity
And how you tr
ied to set the
m free
They would not
listen, they
did not know h
ow
Perhaps they'l
l listen now
[Verse]
Starry, starry
night
Flaming flower
s that brightl
y blaze
Swirling cloud
s in violet ha
ze
Reflect in Vin
cent's eyes of
china blue
Colors changin
g hue
Morning fields
of amber grai
n
Weathered face
s lined in pai
n
Are soothed be
neath the arti
st's loving ha
nd
[Chorus]
Now I understa
nd
What you tried
to say to me
And how you su
ffered for you
r sanity
And how you tr
ied to set the
m free
They would not
listen, they
did not know h
ow
Perhaps they'l
l listen now
[Bridge]
For they could
not love you
But still your
love was true
And when no ho
pe was left in
sight
On that starry
, starry night
You took your
life, as lover
s often do
But I could've
told you Vinc
ent
This world was
never meant f
or
One as beautif
ul as you
[Verse]
Starry, starry
night
Portraits hung
in empty hall
s
Frame-less hea
ds on nameless
walls
With eyes that
watch the wor
ld and can't f
orget
Like the stran
gers that you'
ve met
The ragged men
in ragged clo
thes
The silver tho
rn of bloody r
ose
Lie crushed an
d broken on th
e virgin snow
[Chorus]
Now I think I
know
What you tried
to say to me
And how you su
ffered for you
r sanity
And how you tr
ied to set the
m free
They would not
listen, they'
re not listeni
ng still
Perhaps they n
ever will
