My Colouring Book Lyrics

Brenda Lee

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 when he walked away
Colour them gray
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Colour it blue
These are the arms that held him and touched him and 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 weep in and die in that nobody sees
Colour it lonely, please
This is the boy whose love I depended upon
Colour him gone
