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...
