My Colouring Book
Fred Ebb, John Kander
For those who fancy coloring books
And lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you'll never see
Crayons ready?
Very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away
Color them grey
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him and touched him
Lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room that I sleep in and walk in
And weep in and hide in
That nobody, nobody's seen
Oh, color it lonely, please
This is the man whose love I depended upon
Color him gone
