youtube/watch?v=lrf7K96BO7c Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summers 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 did not listen, They did not know how Perhaps theyll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left insight 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 Frame less heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and cant forget Like the strangers that youve met The ragged men in 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 did not listen theyre not listening still Perhaps they never will. MCLEAN, DON / NASCIMBENI, ENRICO / VECCHIONI, ROBERTO Vincent is a song by Don McLean written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh. It is also known by its opening line, Starry Starry Night, a reference to Van Goghs painting The Starry Night. The song also describes different paintings done by the artist.
