Brenda Lee Lyrics
"My Coloring Book"

(John Kander - Fred Ebb)

For those so fancy coloring books and lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
Almost unusual coloring book the kind you'll never see
Crayons ready very well begin to color me.

These are the eyes that watched him when 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 and lost him somehow
Color them empty now.

These are the beads I wore until she come between
Color them green
This is the room I'm sleeping and walking and weeping
And hiding that nobody sees
Color it lonely please.

This is a boy whose love I depended upon
Color him gone...
