1
Starry, starry night
2
Paint your pallet blue and grey
3
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
4
Shadows on the hills
5
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
6
Catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy, linen land
7
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
8
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
9
They would not listen - they did not know how
10
Perhaps they'll listen now
11
Starry, starry night
12
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
13
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
14
Colors changing hue
15
Morning fields of amber grain
16
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
17
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
18
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
19
They would not listen - they did not know how
20
Perhaps they'll listen now
21
For they could not love you - but still your love was true
22
And, when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do
23
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
24
Starry, starry night
25
Portraits hung in empty halls
26
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
27
Like the strangers that you've met
28
The ragged men in ragged clothes
29
The silver thorn, a bloody rose - lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
30
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
31
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
32
They would not listen - they're not listening still
33
Perhaps they never will
