Colour them empty now These are the beads I wore until she came between Colour them green This is the room that I sleep in And walk in, and weep in, and hide in That nobody sees Oh... Colour it lonely please This is the man Whose love I depended upon Colour him gone |

23 Jan 07 - 04:42 PM (#1945892) Subject: ADDPOP: My Coloring Book From: Joe Offer Lyrics World has this transcription of Barbra Streisand's cover of the song. Kitty Kallen and Sandy Stewart are also listed as having recorded it. It's a really lousy transcription, so I've fixed it as much as I can recall (with help from a Hal Leonard fakebook, which doesn't have the introductory verse). Who Wrote That Song? says the song was introduced by Kay Ballard, which sounds right to me. MY COLORING BOOK Barbra Streisand Written by Fred Ebb (words) & John Kander (music), 1962 For those who fancy coloring books And lots of people do He's 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 him As he walked away Color them grey This is the heart that thought He would always be true Color it blue These are the arms that held him And touched him, then lost him somehow Color them empty now These are the beads (tie) I wore Until she came between Color them (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 man The one I depended upon Color him gone... THE SECOND BARBRA STREISAND ALBUM, 1963 (the male version has a green tie, says the fakebook. You can figure out for yourself how to changes the he's and she's) Or could it be that the requested song is "Love Is Blue"? |

I am sure I was still at school at the time !! I can"t remember which country"s entry it was, but it was sung by NANA MOUSKOURI, of Greece, and did quite well,I think. I have always loved NANA singing this song----forget old False Cogs !! |

I was in junior high school and pining for a fellow who was ignoring me. Ah, early teen angst! Anyway, it was also covered by Andy Williams, I believe. I know at the time several people sang it on television. Not sure if it was being played on the Top 40 stations I listened to then. Didn't think anyone rememberd this song. Linn |
