Vincent Lyrics - Clay Aiken

Starry, starry night 

Paint your palette blue and gray 

Look out on a summer 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 

And colors on the snowy linen land 

What you tried 

To say to me 

And how you suffered for your sanity 

And yow you tried 

To set them free 

They could not listen 

They did not know how 

Perhaps they'll listen now 

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
