My Coloring Book lyrics
by Harold Arlen
[Intro]
For those who fancy coloring books as certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book, the kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
[Verse 1]
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
[Verse 2]
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
[Bridge]
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
[Verse 3]
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
[Bridge]
This is the room I sleep in, walk in and weep in
Hiding that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
[Verse 4]
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone
