When I was nineteen, I threw my stuff in the car
Headed up to the Rockies, took a job at this bar
Sellin' beer to the locals, and just barely getting by
On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime
But from the moment she walked in one night
I knew that I'd be all right in
(Chorus)
Telluride, snow fallin' down
I was wakin' 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 a fire
Castin' shadows on the cabin wall, drownin' in desire
Confessin' all our secrets and laughin' out loud
So high up on that mountain
I thought we'd never come down
It was a dream we were livin' in
And I was the happiest I'd ever been in
(Chorus)
Telluride, snow fallin' down
Wakin' up with her in that sleepy little town
In her eyes my world was 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 the frozen heart
(Chorus)
In Telluride, snow fallin' down
Standin' there alone in that sleepy little town
In her eyes my world came so alive
I never will forget the day she said goodbye
Telluride, snow fallin' down
I was wakin' up in that sleepy little town
In her eyes my world came so alive
I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride
Oh, in Telluride
