When I was a girl in Colorado, Rivers danced the 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 can catch the outbound zephyr, We can travel like the wind
When I moved out to the desert, Forty 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 sun set over Long's Peak Ski those slopes and feel that 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
