[00:06.27]Starry, starry night
[00:11.12]Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:16.44]Look out on a summer's day
[00:20.09]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:26.58]Shadows on the hills
[00:32.44]Sketch the trees and daffodils
[00:37.52]Catch the breeze and winter chills
[00:41.29]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:48.04]Now I understand
[00:53.13]What you tried to say to me
[00:58.02]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:02.99]And how you tried to set them free
[01:05.98]They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:11.81]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:17.84]Starry, starry night
[01:23.12]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:28.62]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:32.19]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:39.19]Colors changing hue
[01:44.42]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:50.07]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:53.76]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:01.71]Now I understand
[02:07.03]What you tried to say to me
[02:12.03]They did not listen, they did not know how
[02:17.49]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:21.68]Starry, starry night
