Colorado Christmas Lyrics by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Christmas Album

0

Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel
You'd never know that it was christmas eve
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And santa drives a rolls royce limosine
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
From telluride to boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
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 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 toook for christmas there
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
From telluride to boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
