When I Was a Girl in Colorado
When I was a girl in Colorado
Rivers danced on canyon walls
Paintbrush nodded in the springtime
I could hear the bluebirds' calls
When I was a girl in Colorado
Winter held me in its arms
Summers rocked me like a lover
I could never come to harm
When I was a girl in Colorado
I could conquer anything
I could fly with wings of silver
I could whisper, I could sing
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We could catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
When I moved out to the desert
40 years to lose my soul
Somewhere back there in her rivers
Colorado made me whole
When I go back to the mountains
I always find a windy hill
Watch the sunset over Long's Peak
Ski those slopes and feel the thrill
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We can catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
When I was a girl in Colorado
I knew enough to fall in love
Like the bluebirds in the pine trees
Like the snowfall from above
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We can catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
Like the wind
Like the wind
Like the wind
Rivers danced on canyon walls
Paintbrush nodded in the springtime
I could hear the bluebirds' calls
When I was a girl in Colorado
Winter held me in its arms
Summers rocked me like a lover
I could never come to harm
When I was a girl in Colorado
I could conquer anything
I could fly with wings of silver
I could whisper, I could sing
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We could catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
When I moved out to the desert
40 years to lose my soul
Somewhere back there in her rivers
Colorado made me whole
When I go back to the mountains
I always find a windy hill
Watch the sunset over Long's Peak
Ski those slopes and feel the thrill
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We can catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
When I was a girl in Colorado
I knew enough to fall in love
Like the bluebirds in the pine trees
Like the snowfall from above
Will you take me to the mountains
Before another summer ends?
We can catch the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
Like the wind
Like the wind
Like the wind
