[00:02.974]Vincent -Nana Mouskouri
[00:09.909]Starry starry night
[00:15.117]Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:19.618]Look out on a summer's day
[00:23.126]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:27.271]Shadows on the hills
[00:31.756]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:36.519]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:40.108]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:47.97]And now I understand
[00:51.946]What you tried to say to me
[00:56.891]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:01.433]How you tried to set them free
[01:04.366]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:09.967]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:15.635]Starry starry night
[01:20.483]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:25.412]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:29.424]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
[01:33.208]Colors changing hue
[01:37.977]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:43.261]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:46.857]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:53.501]And now I understand
[01:58.169]What you tried to say to me
[02:03.289]How you suffered for your sanity
[02:07.966]How you tried to set them free
[02:10.484]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:15.996]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:19.225]For they could not love you
[02:23.273]But still your love was true
[02:28.150]And when no hope was left inside
[02:32.435]On that starry starry night
[02:34.812]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:41.365]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:44.456]This world was never meant for one as
[02:48.997]Beautiful as you
[02:55.956]Starry starry night
[03:01.111]Portraits hang in empty halls
[03:05.882]Frame less heads on nameless walls
[03:09.598]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:13.581]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:18.568]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:23.515]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[03:27.434]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:34.424]And now I think I know
[03:39.705]What you tried to say to me
[03:44.510]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:49.226]How you tried to set them free
[03:51.876]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:58.79]Perhaps they never will
