She Didn't Color Daddy

I'm with my little girl, the only friend left in the world

So I gave her a book to color on

Just to pass the time away

This had been her longest day

Everything so lonely with him gone

I laugh when I first look at the pictures in her book

The way she colored everything so wrong

But then a tear came over me as I realized that she

Had other things as she felt they belong

She colored mummy blue with brown eyes, crying

She made our home as great as the dawn

She made the sun as black as night

As if to say it have no life

But she didn't color daddy 'cause he's gone

Oh yes, I'm so blue and I've been crying

And our home is as great as the dawn

And the sun, it gives no light

Everyday is like the night

But she didn't color daddy 'cause he's gone
