My Colouring Book

(album: Love Is Forever - 1965)

If you admire coloring books
Lots of people do
I'm 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 her
As she walked away
Color them gray

And this is the heart that thought
She would always be true
Ah, color it blue

These are the arms that held her
And touched her then lost her, lost her somehow
Color them empty now

This is the tie I wore
Until he came between
You can color it green

This is the room I sleep in and walk in
And weep in and hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please

And this is the girl
That once I depended upon
You can color her gone

Color her, color her, color her gone
Color her gone
