[00:00.73]Starry, starry night
[00:04.97]Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:09.82]Look out on a summer's day
[00:13.18]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:17.43]Shadows on the hills
[00:21.93]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:26.84]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:30.72]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:34.45]
[00:37.04]Now I understand
[00:41.56]What you tried to say to me
[00:46.28]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:51.41]How you tried to set them free 
[00:54.25]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:59.94]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:05.15]
[01:05.67]Starry, starry night
[01:10.30]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:15.26]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:19.14]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:23.51]Colors changing hue
[01:28.36]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:33.01]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:37.31]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:41.71]
[01:42.46]Now I understand
[01:46.94]What you tried to say to me
[01:51.45]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:56.07]How you tried to set them free 
[01:59.23]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:04.58]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:07.13]
[02:07.68]For they could not love you 
[02:12.26]But still your love was true
[02:17.01]And when no hope was left inside 
[02:20.83]On that starry, starry night
[02:23.82]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:29.34]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:33.21]This world was never meant for one as
[02:36.33]beautiful as you
[02:40.94]
[02:42.54]Starry, starry night
[02:47.56]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:52.21]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:56.29]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[02:59.96]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:04.83]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:09.42]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[03:13.54]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:18.63]Now I think I know
[03:24.23]What you tried to say to me
[03:28.50]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:33.73]How you tried to set them free
[03:36.33]They will not listen they're not listening still
[03:42.57]Perhaps they never will
