My Colouring Book Lyrics

My Colouring Book
(Portrait en couleurs)

For those who fancy colouring books
And lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual colouring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well, begin to colour me

These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away
Colour them grey
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Colour it blue

These are the arms that held him, the touched him
Then lost him somehow
Colour them empty now
These are the beads I wore until she came between
Colour them green

This is the room I sleep in
And walk in, and rave in and hide in
That noboby sees
Colour it lonely please
This is the man whose love I depended upon
Colour him gone

(J. Kander / F. Ebb)
