STARRY STARRY NITE

Vincent
        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 colours on the snowy linen land.             
And 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.
                                      And now I understand what you tried to say to me

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
