While i was reading my post ‘The Starry sky’, I am thinking about this song and the “Moon River”. It’s so nice to hear these songs….i memorized many things which happened in the past..
Vincent ” Starry Starry Night” by Don McLean
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 the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus:
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
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
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
Chorus:
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no 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
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
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Well, that’s a beautiful song. I heard it when I was in my twenties. Everything belonging to that period is sweeter to me. It is so delicate and romantic, and talks about a starry sky. You seem to like starry skies a lot, AutumnSnow …
All the best and all the fortunes of this world to you!
Thanks MoR, Happy to hear from you in here. Yes, it’s really a beautiful song. I do like starry skies a lot… Really wanna to look at that again.
Lately, I seemed like listening to this song again and again.. It really made me memories a lot of things…the sweetest and romantic moment in the past.
My heart is feeling calm and peace while listening to it… I really love this song “Starry starry night” so much!!! I like the starry sky too!
