Lyrics and Music by Don McLean performed by Vonda Shepard Starry, starry night Paint your palette 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 daffodils Catch the breeze and 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'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers 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 SongtexteAre soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me They did not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Aus Songtexte Mania
