When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car
Headed up to the rockies, got a job at this bar
Sellin' beer to the locals, just barely gettin' 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 alright in

Chorus:
Telluride
The snow fallin' 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 the fire
Castin' shadows on the cabin wall drownin' in desire
Confessin' all our secrets, laughin' out loud
So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down
It was a dream we were livin' in
I was the happiest I'd ever been in ...

Chorus:

Telluride
The snow fallin 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

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 a frozen heart in ...

Chorus:

Telluride
The snow fallin' down
Standin' there alone in that sleepy little town
In her eyes my world came so alive
I never will forget that day she said goodbye in ...

Repeat Chorus
