[Intro]

                



[Verse]

              
Starry, starry

            
 night,
              
Paint your pal

      
ette blue and 

grey,
              
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 colours on 

              
the snowy line

        
n 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 k

         
now how
              
Perhaps they’l

                    
l listen now




[Instrumental]

              
Starry, starry

            
 night,

   
             
Starry, starry

   
 night

       

                    




[Chorus]

              
Now I think I 

    
know
              
What you tried

       
 to say to me
              
And how you su

              
ffered for you

          
r sanity
              
How you tried 

             
to set them fr


ee

They would not listen,
              
They’re not li

             
stening still
              
Perhaps they n

            
ever will.



[Outro]
              
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
         
Oh, you took y

our life,
             
As lovers ofte

  
n do

              
But I could’ve

  
 told you, Vin

cent,
      
This world was

 never meant f

or
            
One as beautif

            
ul as you
