Like a fool I left Colorado and the girl I thought I didn't need Now I've come back out west just to find out that she's left Now where in the world does that leave me This ain't the Denver I remember this ain't no rocky mountain high Since she's forgotten me I'm lost in memories But this ain't the Denver I remember [ Guitar ] I can still see the foothills in the distance I can still see forever in her eyes And when the snow begins to fall it's just like I recall Yeah it's still winters paradise But this ain't the Denver I remember... Since she said goodbye there ain't no rocky mountain high This ain't the Denver I remember
