Vincent

[00:00.06]There was a boy

[00:00.45]Very strange enchanted boy

[00:01.53]They say he wandered very far

[00:02.45]Very far over land and sea

[00:03.18]A little shy and sad of eye

[00:03.75]But very wise was he

[00:04.25]And then one day

[00:04.74]A magic day he passed my way

[00:05.33]Though we talked of many thing fools and kings

[00:06.24]This he said to me

[00:06.75]The greatest thing you'll ever learn

[00:07.79]Is just to love and be loved in return

[00:08.66]Starry starry night

[00:09.11]Paint your palette blue and gray

[00:09.81]Look out on a summer's day

[00:12.66]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

[00:17.12]Shadows on the hills

[00:21.57]Sketch the trees and the daffodils

[00:26.55]Catch the breeze and the winter chills

[00:30.32]In colors on the snowy linen land

[00:36.81]Now I understand

[00:41.54]What you tried to say to me

[00:45.99]How you suffered for your sanity

[00:51.17]How you tried to set them free

[00:54.29]They would not listen they did not know how

[01:00.00]Perhaps they'll listen now

[01:05.51]Starry starry night

[01:10.34]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

[01:15.15]Swirling clouds in violet haze

[01:19.14]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china-blue

[01:23.45]Colors changing hue

[01:28.37]Morning fields of amber grain

[01:33.06]Weathered faces lined in pain

[01:37.40]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

[01:41.96]Now I understand

[01:46.85]What you tried to say to me

[01:51.20]How you suffered for your sanity

[01:55.95]And how you tried to set them free

[01:58.97]They would not listen they did not know how

[02:04.62]Perhaps they'll listen now

[02:07.70]For they could not love you

[02:11.84]But still your love was true

[02:17.04]And when no hope was left in sight

[02:20.75]On that starry starry night

[02:23.93]You took your life as lovers often do

[02:29.34]But I could've told you Vincent

[02:33.09]This world was never meant for

[02:35.28]One as beautiful as you

[02:42.38]Starry starry night

[02:47.61]Portraits hung in empty halls

[02:52.16]Frameless heads on nameless walls

[02:56.31]With eyes that watch this world and can't forget

[03:00.30]Like the strangers that you've met

[03:04.62]The ragged men in ragged clothes

[03:09.50]A silver thorn of bloody rose

[03:13.59]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

[03:18.87]Now I think I know

[03:24.24]What you tried to say to me

[03:28.62]How you suffered for your sanity

[03:33.84]And how you tried to set them free

[03:37.05]They would not listen they're not listening still

[03:42.87]Perhaps they never will

[03:46.02]You're gonna do that for me

[03:51.15]I'm gonna do this for you
