Complete the song with one of the words in brackets.

Starry, starry night.

Paint your palette blue and grey,

Look out on a summer's day,

With .......... that know the darkness in my soul. (ice – eyes)

Shadows on the hills,

Sketch the trees and the daffodils,

Catch the .......... and the winter chills, (freeze / breeze)

In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your .........., (vanity / 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.

.......... flowers that brightly blaze, (framing / flaming)

Swirling clouds in violet haze,

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Colors changing .........., morning field of amber grain, (hue / you)

Weathered faces lined in pain,

Are ........... beneath the artist's loving hand. (soothed / smoothed)

For they ........... not love you, (could / would)

But still your love was true.

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night,

You took your .........., as lovers often do. (knife / life)

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one

As beautiful as you.
