[00:01.35]Sung By "Don Mclean"
[00:02.43]Starry starry night
[00:04.30]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:10.60]Look out on a summer's day
[00:13.90]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:18.32]Shadows on the hills
[00:22.54]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:27.79]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:31.39]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:37.90]Now I understand
[00:42.46]What you tried to say to me
[00:47.00]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:52.18]How you tried to set them free.
[00:55.39]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:00.94]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:06.30]Starry starry night
[01:10.94]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:15.84]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:19.83]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:24.19]Colors changing hue
[01:29.13]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:33.76]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:38.15]Are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:42.68]Now I understand
[01:47.27]What you tried to say to me
[01:51.54]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:56.49]How you tried to set them free.
[01:59.48]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:04.70]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.32]For they could not love you
[02:12.26]But still your love was true
[02:17.36]And when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:21.69]Starry starry night.
[02:24.27]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:29.61]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:32.52]
[02:33.28]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:43.01]Starry starry night
[02:48.16]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:52.73]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:56.82]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:00.95]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:05.04]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:09.80]The silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:13.99]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:19.63]Now I think I know
[03:24.53]What you tried to say to me
[03:28.47]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:33.96]How you tried to set them free.
[03:37.21]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:43.09]Perhaps they never will.
[03:45.93]
[03:46.85]The End.
