[00:00.00]Vincent - Don McLean
[00:00.30]Lyrics by：Don McLean
[00:00.60]Composed by：Don McLean
[00:00.90]Starry starry night
[00:02.81]
[00:05.26]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:07.88]
[00:09.92]Look out on a summer's day
[00:12.03]
[00:13.18]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:16.89]
[00:17.55]Shadows on the hills
[00:19.34]
[00:21.96]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:25.15]
[00:26.97]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:29.66]
[00:30.73]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:37.11]Now I understand
[00:39.47]
[00:41.81]What you tried to say to me
[00:45.06]
[00:46.26]And how you suffered for your sanity
[00:49.42]
[00:51.49]And how you tried to set them free
[00:53.75]
[00:54.56]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:57.76]
[01:00.21]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:03.03]
[01:05.68]Starry starry night
[01:07.51]
[01:10.44]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:13.34]
[01:15.34]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:18.28]
[01:19.18]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
[01:22.78]
[01:23.54]Colors changing hue
[01:25.69]
[01:28.32]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:31.08]
[01:33.05]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:37.54]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:42.05]Now I understand
[01:44.38]
[01:46.65]What you tried to say to me
[01:49.85]
[01:50.85]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:54.03]
[01:55.79]And how you tried to set them free
[01:58.07]
[01:58.83]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:02.12]
[02:04.46]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:06.92]
[02:07.61]For they could not love you
[02:09.59]
[02:11.65]But still your love was true
[02:14.23]
[02:16.68]And when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:21.05]Starry starry night
[02:22.68]
[02:23.54]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:27.09]
[02:28.97]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:31.86]
[02:32.73]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[02:39.06]
[02:41.92]Starry starry night
[02:43.91]
[02:47.09]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:49.67]
[02:51.84]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:54.60]
[02:55.98]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:00.09]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:03.00]
[03:04.05]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:09.36]The silver thorn a bloddy rose
[03:12.98]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:18.80]Now I think I know
[03:21.49]
[03:23.49]What you tried to say to me
[03:26.99]
[03:27.64]And how you suffered for your sanity
[03:30.70]
[03:33.04]And how you tried to set them free
[03:35.50]
[03:36.25]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:39.66]
[03:42.06]Perhaps they never will
