Don Mclean
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 colours 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
colours changing hue
morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands

( Chorus )

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 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 b_____ rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

( Chorus )
