they did not know how<br> Perhaps they&#8217;ll listen now<br><br> Starry, starry night<br> Flaming flowers that brightly blaze<br> Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent&#8217;s eyes of china blue<br><br> Colors changing hue<br> Morning fields of amber grain<br> Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist&#8217;s loving hand<br><br> Now I understand what you tried to say to me<br> And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free<br> They would not listen &#8211; they did not know how<br> Perhaps they&#8217;ll listen now<br><br> For they could not love you &#8211; but still your love was true<br> And, when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do<br> But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you<br><br> Starry, starry night<br> Portraits hung in empty halls<br> Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can&#8217;t forget<br><br> Like the strangers that you&#8217;ve met<br> The ragged men in ragged clothes<br> The silver thorn, a bloody rose &#8211; lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow<br><br> Now I think I know what you tried to say to me<br> And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free<br> They would not listen &#8211; they&#8217;re not listening still<br> Perhaps they never will                             <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Vincent (Starry Starry Night<\/em><\/strong> &#8212; lyrics source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyricsmode.com\/lyrics\/d\/don_mclean\/vincent.html\">https:\/\/www.lyricsmode.com\/lyrics\/d\/don_mclean\/vincent.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firstHeading\"><strong>Vincent (Don McLean song) Wikipedia:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vincent_(Don_McLean_song)\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vincent_(Don_McLean_song)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don McLean \u2013 &#8220;Vincent&#8221;
