Don Mclean - Vincent

Here are the lyrics:

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

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.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
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 flo'rs 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.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they're not
list'ning still
perhaps they never will.

Somehow i managd to stumble across this beautiful simplistic song in school

[MrsMurphyMacmanus]

Thhis song makes me cry every time now. This past season, my marching band's show theme was "The Starry Night". We used this as our pre-show piece and it was sooooo amazing to step onto the field and here the first 2:07 of this song. We won State Championships for our class (first time in school history) and this song always reminds me of our season. It makes me so happy that I cry. Truely, a beautiful song.

Good gosh... Don McLean was an amazing songwriter. :)

[Jahgreenyellowred]

i found this song on youtube, started listening to it. It sounded familiar and then i looked at my Don Mclean record and there it was.

[littlenannybot]

@DarkShadowSoul1 ..he also cut off his ear, to make the voices shut up. i think that qualifies as 'insane'.

but your right, and the songs' right, this world wasn't meant for him, because only a beatiful artist could makes such beatiful paintings.

[Ihatebrokenhearts]

This song is beautiful

[mdaeleman123]

If i would ever have a baby boy, i'd like to call him Vincent because of this wonderfull lyrics: "but i could have told you Vincent, this world was never mend for one as beautfiful as you".
