Artist/Band: Don McLean
Lyrics for Song: Vincent
Lyrics for Album: Best Of Don Mclean [2009]



Starry starry night,

paint your palette blue and grey

Look out on a summers day

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

sketch the trees and the daffodills

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors 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 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



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.



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've 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 cant forget.

Like the strangers that you've 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

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen.

They're not listening still

perhaps they never will.
