If you admire coloring books,
|
And lots of people do,
|
I’ve a new one for you!
|
A most unusual coloring book,
|
The kind you never see,
|
Crayons ready, crayons set,
|
Begin to color me!
|
|
These are the eyes that watched her,
|
As she walked away,
|
Color them gray!
|
|
This is the heart,
|
That thought she would always be true,
|
Color it blue!
|
|
These are the arms that held her,
|
And touched her,
|
Then lost her somehow,
|
Color them empty now!
|
|
This is the tie, I wore,
|
Until you came between,
|
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!
|
|
This is the girl that once I depended upon,
|
Color her gone!
