Starry, starry night
|
Paint your palette blue and gray
|
Look out on a summer day
|
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
|
Shadows on the hills
|
Sketch the trees and daffodils
|
Catch the breeze and winter chills
|
And colors on the snowy linen land
|
Now I understand
|
What you tried
|
To say to me
|
And how you suffered for your sanity
|
And yow you tried
|
To set them free
|
They could not listen
|
They did not know how
|
Perhaps theyˇŻll listen now
|
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
|
