My Coloring Book Lyrics

Caterina Valente My Coloring Book

In case you fancy colouring books
And lots of people do
I've 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
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 hide in
That nobody sees
Colour it lonely please

This is the man... the walk...
I depended... upon
Colour him gone

Colour him... gone
