As part of an exhibit called "Masterpiece Reimagined", I chose to reinterpret Can Gogh's The Starry Night with a Dolly Parton twist.

ββ¦Watching her I cannot help
But go back in my mind
And suddenly I find I am 15 again
Slow dancing with the moon
Oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago
And I've lived my life like a love sick clown In a bittersweet cartoon
Just a dreamy-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon
Watching the girl I'm reminded
She's quite a lot like me
Trapped in the suburbs of wonderland,
Lost in her own fantasy
Somehow my heart never grew up, no one ever burst my balloon
So here I am swirling in star dust slow dancing with the moonβ¦ β
Dolly Parton - Slow Dancing With The Moon (1993)

βMay the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.β
