Colorado Christmas |
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel, |
You’d never know that this was Christmas Eve. |
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells, |
And the temperature is 84 degrees. |
But I remember Christmases when I was just a boy |
In the morning I would run to see the tree. |
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy |
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me. |
Now all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air |
From Telluride to Boulder down below |
Now the closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere |
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow |
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below |
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene |
But there’s not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows, |
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine. |
I see the sun is setting in the California sky |
And I can’t find the spirit anywhere |
So I think it’s time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye |
I’m going back home look for Christmas there |
Cause all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air |
From Telluride to Boulder down below |
Now the closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere |
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow |
