the days of spring have just begun
and melted snow begins to run
aspen is a fine place where many people go
and so you´re bound for colorado

don´t send me cards from where you´ve been
or tell me ´bout the friends you win
but send to me a new leaf just begun to grow
and hurry home from colorado

you told me once that you would like to run away
>from all the fears and all the tears you felt that day
you should know no matter where you go
you have your friends to lean upon
when you´re not sure what´s goin´ on

and if you don´t return by the summer i will know
you´ve found a home in colorado
and you´re doing fine in colorado
