Like a fool I left Colorado and the girl I thought I didn't need

Now I've come back out west just to find out that she's left

Now where in the world does that leave me



This ain't the Denver I remember this ain't no rocky mountain high

Since she's forgotten me I'm lost in memories

But this ain't the Denver I remember

[ guitar ]

I can still see the foothills in the distance

I can still see forever in her eyes

And when the snow begins to fall it's just like I recall

Yeah it's still winters paradise



But this ain't the Denver I remember...



Since she said goodbye there ain't no rocky mountain high

This ain't the Denver I remember
