When I was 19, I threw my stuff in the car Headed up to the Rockies, took a job at this bar Sellin' 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 all right in Telluride, snow fallin' down I was wakin' 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 a fire Castin' shadows on the cabin wall, drownin' in desire Confessin' all our secrets and laughin' out loud So high up on that mountain I thought we'd never come down It was a dream we were livin' in I was the happiest I'd ever been in Telluride, snow fallin' down Wakin' up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world was so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride Oh, oh, oh, yeah ♪ 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 the frozen heart In Telluride, snow fallin' down Standin' 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 fallin' down I was wakin' 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, in Telluride
