Don Mclean - Starry Starry Night lyrics
Starry starry night
 Paint your palet 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 daffodiles
 catch the breeze and the winter chills
 in colours on the snowy linen land
 Now I understand
 what you tried to say to me
 and how you suffered for your sanity
 and 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
 colours changing hue
 morning fields of amber grain
 weathered faces lined in pain
 are soothed beneth the artist's loving hand
 Now I understand
 what you tried to say to me
 and how you suffered for your sanity
 and how you tried to set them freeDon Mclean - Starry Starry Night - http://motolyrics.com/don-mclean/starry-starry-night-lyrics.html
 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 inside
 on that starry starry night
You took your life as lover's often do
 But I could have told you,
 Vincent,
 this world was never ment for one as beautiful as you
Starry starry night
 Portraits hung in empty halls
 framless heads on nameless walls
 with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
 like the strangers that you've met
 The ragged men in ragged clothes
 a silver thorn
 a bloody rose
 lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
 now I think I know
 what you tried to say to me
 and how you suffered for your sanity
 and how you tried to set them free
 they would now listen
 they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
