[00:00.35]Starry, starry night
[00:05.77]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:11.00]Look out on a summer's day
[00:14.43]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:18.77]Shadows on the hills
[00:23.79]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:29.22]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:32.70]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:38.93]
[00:39.73]Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[00:48.99]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:54.02]How you tried to set them free
[00:57.06]They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:02.23]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:06.88]
[01:07.72]Starry, starry night
[01:12.76]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:18.21]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:21.74]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:26.37]Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
[01:36.27]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:39.90]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:44.28]Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[01:53.20]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:58.48]How you tried to set them free
[02:01.41]They would not listen, they did not know how
[02:06.29]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:09.28]For they could not love you
[02:13.80]But still your love was true
[02:18.64]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:23.32]On that starry, starry night
[02:26.26]You took your life, as lovers often do
[02:32.33]But I could have told you, Vincent
[02:35.46]This world was never meant for one
[02:38.60]As beautiful as you
[02:41.38]
[02:44.92]Starry, starry night
[02:49.94]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:53.98]Frameless head on nameless walls
[02:58.50]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:02.74]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:07.96]The ragged men in the ragged clothes
[03:11.89]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[03:16.17]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:20.51]Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
[03:30.22]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:35.09]How you tried to set them free
[03:37.78]They would not listen, they're not listening still
[03:44.26]Perhaps they never will...
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
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
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...
