Vincentby Don McLean

(1) Starry, starry nightPaint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer’s dayWith eyes that know the darkness in my soul

(2) Shadows on the hillsSketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chillsIn colors on the snowy linen land

(3) Now I understandWhat you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanityAnd how you tried to set them free

They would not listen; they did not know howPerhaps they’ll listen now

(4) Starry, starry nightFlaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet hazeReflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue

(5) Colors changing hueMorning fields of amber grainWeathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand

(6) For they could not love youBut still, your love was true

And when no hope was left insideOn that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often doBut I could have told you, Vincent

This world was never meantFor one as beautiful as you
