Vincent Starry Starry Night

Julio Iglesias - Vincent (Starry Starry Night) 1990 - Julio Iglesias covered this song on his album Starry Night and it was later included on the compilation album My Life: The Greatest Hits (1998) Capo III [Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] 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 . [Verse 3] Starry starry night flaming flowers that brightly blaze swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue. [Verse 4] Colors changing hue morning fields of amber grain weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand. [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. [Bridge] 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.    [Verse 5] Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget. [Verse 6] 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.   [Outro] 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.
