When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car

I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar

Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by

On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime

But when I saw her walk in one night

I knew that I'd be all right in



Telluride, the snow falling down

I was waking 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

Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire

Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud

So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down

It was a dream we were living in

And I was the happiest I'd ever been in



Telluride, the snow falling down

Waking up with her in that sleepy little town

In her eyes, my world came so alive

I never will forget all those sleepless nights

In Telluride



Telluride, whoa-oh-oh



It ended just like a movie scene

And I had to play the part

Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave

And me with the frozen heart



In Telluride, the snow falling down

Standing there alone in that sleepy little town

In her eyes, my world came so alive

I never will forget the day she said goodbye



In Telluride, the snow falling down

Waking up with her in that sleepy little town

In her eyes, my world came so alive

I never will forget all those sleepless nights

In Telluride
