<< Vincent >> --- Don Mclean I also have a computer karaoke version if you are interested Paul Johnson

Stary stary night Paint your palete blue and gray 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 * Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not know how Perhaps they listen now* Stary stary night Flamin' flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in vincent's eyes of China blue Colors changing hue Morning field of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed Beneath artist's loving hand * Repeat For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left incide On that stary stary 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 Stary stray night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the straingers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of a bloody rose Like crushed and broken on the virgin snow And now I think I know What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen they're not listening still perhaps they never will
