My Coloring Book
In case you fancy coloring books
And lots of people do
I've a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready? Very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him
Then lost him, somehow
Color them empty, now
These arе the beads I wore
Until shе came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
And walk in and weep in and hide in
That nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone
Color him gone
Color him gone
