My Coloring Book Lyrics

Nana Mouskouri

1st version( J. Kander / F. Ebb )

Here is 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, and 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

2nd version ( J. Kander / F. Ebb )

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
