My Colouring Book - Aretha Franklin

For those who fancy coloring books

And lots of people do Here’s a new one for you

A most unusal coloring book

The kind you never see

Crayons ready, very well

Begin to color me These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away

Color them gray

This is the heart that thought he would always be true

Color it blue

Thse are the arms that held him and touched him, then lost him somehow

Color them empty now

These are the beads I wore until she came between

Color them 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 man, the love I depended upon

Color him gone
