My Coloring Book

Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan

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



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 are the beads I wore

Until she came between

Color them green



This is the room I sleep in and walk in

And weepin', and hidin', that nobody sees

Color it lonely, please



This is the man

The one I depended upon

Color him gone
