My Coloring Book

Pete Burns

Compositor: Fred Ebb / John Kander

If you admire 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, crayons set
Begin to color me!
These are the eyes that watched her
As she walked away
Color them gray!
These are the arms that held her

And touched her
Then lost her somehow
Color them empty now!
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 tie, I wore
Until you came between
Color it green!
