Vincent
A while back Nannan had posted about a song that she liked by Don McClean called Starry Starry Night, well it's actually called Vincent. I love that song and actually just got done listening to it, so I figured wouldn't it be nice to actually post the lyrics for it...so I decided Yes, Yes it would so here they are, I even looked them up using askjeeves.com just to make sure I had all the lyrics right. So here they are..Much love to you all, enjoy.
DON McLEAN
Vincent
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 daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
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
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they'll listen now
For they could not love you
And 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 hall
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged man 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
Then how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps, they never will...

Thanks tam, I can almost hear him singing!!
Those pictures are gorgeous!! Ok - really wishing you were here, bbecause a certain Mat decided that he needed to send me a nasty e-mail this morning. Not what a person going into labour wants to read. He's lucky he's not where I can get my hands on him.
Nannan- You are certainly welcome, I absolutely love that song and I thought of you when I was listening to it last night.
Tymber-just ignore whatever e-mail he sends you, you know that it's gonna be alot of B.S. with him and you really don't need that*H*.
Tam - I don't have your number to call collect :(
