Starry, starry night,
Point your palette
Blue and gray
Look out on a

SummeHs day
With eyes that know
The darkness

In my soul,

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees

And the daffodils
In colors

On the snowy
Linen land
Now I understand,

What you tried
To say to me
And how you tried

To set them free
They would not listen,

They did not know how
Perha ps they'll

Listen now
Sta rry, sic rry nig hf,

Fla ming flowers that
Brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in

Violet haze
Reflect in
Vincenfs eyes

Of china blue,

Colors changing hue
Morning fields

Of amber grain
Weathered fa ces

Lined in pain
Are soothed be neaih

The ariisfs loving hand
Now I understand,

What you tried
To say to me
They would not listen,

They did not know how
Perha ps they'll

Listen now
For they could not
Love you,

Buf still your love
Was true
And when no hope

Was leH in sight on that
Starry, starry night
You took your life as

Lovers often do
This world was

Never meant for one as
Beautiful as you
Sta rry, sic rry nig hf,

Portraits hung in
Empty halls
Fra meless heads

On no meless walls
With eyes that

Watch the world
And can't forget
The rugged men in

Ragged clothes
The silver thorn

Of bloody rose
Lie crushed

And broken on

The virgin snow,
Now I think I know
Whai you tried

To say to me
They would not listen,

They're not
Listening still
Perha ps

They never will
