Fred Bongusto - Medley: Vincent (Clair) lyrics

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the 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
And 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
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue

Clair the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me which I couldn't see
And then the moment I met you again
I knew in my heart that we were friends
It had to be so it couldn't be no
But try
As hard as I might do, I don't know why
You get to me in a way I can't describe
Words mean so little when you
Look up and smile
I don't care what people say
To me you're more than a child oh, Clair
Clair

Clair if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you in all that you do
Clair oh, Clair
