A/N : Yes I know that this song is not Broadway, nor is it from a musical, but i absolutely love this song. Yes I also know that it's not originally by Josh Groban, but the way he sings it almost makes me cry every time I hear it. So just because it is such an amazing song, I'm adding it to this.  With out further ado, enjoy.

Starry starry night 

Paint your pallette blue and grey 

Look out on a summers 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 

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 and violet haze 

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue 


Colors changing hues 

Morning fields of amber grain 

Weathered faces lined in pain 

Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


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


For they could not love you 

But 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 


Like the strangers that you've met 

The ragged men 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

And how you suffered for your sanity 

And how you tried to set them free 

They would not listen

They're not listening still 

Perhaps they never will
