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
