Starry, starry  night,   paint your palette blue and grey
                Do                 Re                                Sol
Look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills,       Sketch the trees and daffodils
                      Do                Re                             Sol
Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land

            Lam      Re                   Sol         Sol/Fa# Mim
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
                          Lam      Re                          Mim
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,

Starry, starry  night,          flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

Swirling clouds in violet haze reflecting 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

For they could not love you, but still your love was true
             Lam                             Dom
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,

You took your life as lovers often do
       Lam                                 Do
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
                        Re             Sol
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 strangers that you've met              The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will
