My Coloring Book

Ebb-Kander

I've a most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready? Very well, begin to color me

These are the eyes that watched her as she walked away
Color them grey
This is the heart that thought she would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held her and touched her
And lost her somehow
Color them empty now
This is the tie I wore until he came between
Color it green

This is the room I sleep in and walk in and weep in
Hide in, that nobody sees
Color it lonely please
This is the girl, the one I depended upon
Color her gone
