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
