The day you left was bitter sweet as

The sparkle in your eyes met runway lights for the first time

Creating the deepest blue I swear I've ever seen

But that moment's beauty was so short-lived


I whispered Give me a call from Chicago when you get there

I swear I love you and I always will

Take care of yourself while we're apart

That way when I see you it'll be like you never left my side


Please say hello to Denver 

I'm stuck here alone again

Just give me a call I guess when you get there

Please say hello to Denver

I'm stuck here alone again

Colorado's calling me out


That night I stayed up late and stared at the phone

Praying for collect calls from the west

And at the end of every call before I let that receiver fall

I found myself whispering all the same things


Please say hello to Denver 

I'm stuck here alone again

Just give me a call I guess when you find the time

Please say hello to Denver

I'm stuck here alone again

Colorado's calling me out
