Telluride

When I was nineteen
I threw my stuff in the car
I headed up to the Rockies
Took a job at this bar
Selling beer to the locals
And just barely getting by
On the tips from the rich kids
There on Daddy's dime
But from the moment she walked in one night
I knew that I'd be alright in
Telluride
Snow falling down
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget
The moment she arrived in Telluride
We spent that whole winter tangled up by the fire
Casting shadows on the cabin wall
Drowning in desire
Confessing all our secrets
And laughing out loud
So high up on thet mountain
I thought we'd never come down
It was a dream we were living in
I was the happiest I'd ever been
In Telluride
Snow falling down
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget
All those sleepless nights in Telluride
It ended just like a movie scene
And I had to play the part
Of the lover who stood there
And watched her leave
Me with a frozen heart
In Telluride
Snow falling down
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget
The day she said goodbye
Telluride
Snow falling down
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget
All those sleepless nights in Telluride
Oh, Telluride
