She Didn't Color Daddy
I'm with my little girl
The only friend left in the world
So, I gave her a book to color on
Just to pass the time away
This had been the longest day
Everything's so lonely with him gone
I laughed, when I first looked
At the pictures in her book
The way she colored everything so wrong
But then, a chill came over me
As I realized that she
Had colored things as she felt they belonged
She colored mommy blue with brown eyes crying
She made our home as grey as the dawn
She made the sun as black as night
As if to say it held no light
But she didn't color daddy, 'cause he's gone
Oh yes, I'm so blue and I've been crying
And our home is as grey as the dawn
And the sun, it gives no light
Everyday is like the night
But she didn't color daddy, 'cause he's gone
