Slide 2: 

Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey.

Slide 3: 

Look out on a summer's day

Slide 4: 

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills,

Slide 5: 

sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the winter chills

Slide 6: 

in colors on the snowy linen land. Now I understand

Slide 7: 

what you tried to say to me,

Slide 8: 

how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.

Slide 9: 

They would not listen, they did not know how.

Slide 10: 

perhaps they'll listen now.

Slide 11: 

Starry, starry night,

Slide 12: 

flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

Slide 13: 

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue..

Slide 14: 

Colors changing hue,

Slide 15: 

morning fields of amber grain,

Slide 16: 

weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Slide 17: 

. Now I understand

Slide 18: 

what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.

Slide 19: 

They would not listen. They did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.

Slide 20: 

For they could not love you,

Slide 21: 

but still your love was true, and when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,

Slide 22: 

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.

Slide 23: 

Starry, starry night,

Slide 24: 

portraits hung in empty halls,

Slide 25: 

frameless heads on nameless walls,

Slide 26: 

with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met,

Slide 27: 

the ragged men in ragged clothes,

Slide 28: 

the silver thorn of bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Slide 29: 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity,

Slide 30: 

how you tried to set them free. They would not listen. They're not list’ning still.

Slide 31: 

Perhaps, they never will.
