Colorado Lyrics by This Glass Embrace

Don’t Let Your Eyes Forget The Stars

2015

[Verse 1]
You would have been happy
The first thing I did was start praying
For a moment, I laughed at the thought of me praying for you
My faith is imperfect, I know
But there's one thing I'm sure of
I learned from you most of what I ever learned about truth
[Chorus]
You were a gunslinger
To us you were a legend
I never once heard you speak a word
That wasn't spoken with love
You were always so sure
That we would make you proud
And I hope you were
I hope you are, now
[Verse 2]
The strength in her voice on the phone
Made my own feel like weakness
And the first thing she told me was, "We lost a good man today"
There was never a doubt in my mind
You were destined for heaven
I never once saw your smile without glimpsing some other place
[Chorus]
You were a gunslinger
To us you were a legend
I never once heard you speak a word
That wasn't spoken with love
You were always so sure
That we would make you proud
And I hope you were
I hope you are, now
[Verse 3]
To me you were John Wayne
Plain-spoken and quietly fearless
I remember you best on the porch watching fire streak the sky
Is that mesa still standing?
Do mountains still line the horizon?
A part of me thought Colorado would crumble
When we said goodbye
[Chorus]
You were a gunslinger
To us you were a legend
I never once heard you speak a word
That wasn't spoken with love
You were always so sure
That we would make you proud
And I hope you were
I hope you are, now
