[Steve Goodman - Colorado Christmas lyrics]
Looking out the window of
This Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that this was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took
The place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees
But, 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 all along the Rockies you can
Feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
Now the closest thing to heaven
On this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning
In the Colorado snow
I can hear the traffic on
The crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their
Heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer
And it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine
I see 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 look for Christmas there
Cause all along the Rockies you can
Feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
Now the closest thing to heaven
On this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning
In the Colorado snow
This Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that this was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took
The place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees
But, 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 all along the Rockies you can
Feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
Now the closest thing to heaven
On this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning
In the Colorado snow
I can hear the traffic on
The crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their
Heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer
And it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine
I see 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 look for Christmas there
Cause all along the Rockies you can
Feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
Now the closest thing to heaven
On this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning
In the Colorado snow
