Vincent(Starry Starry Night)

Josh Groban - Vincent(Starry,Starry Night)

Starry, starry night

Paint your pallet blue and grey

Look out on a summers day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy lined 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 do not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blazed

Swirling clouds and violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grey

Whethered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

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 do not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when your hope was left inside

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

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged man in ragged clothes

The silver thorn

A bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

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 were not listening

They're not listening still

Perhaps they never will
