Starry Starry Night Lyrics - Don Mclean

Starry, starry night 

Paint your palette blue and gray 

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 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 Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue 

Morning fields of amber grain 

Weathered faces lined in pain 

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
