When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the carnI headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this barnSellin' beer to the locals, just barely getting bynOn the tips from the rich kids, there on Daddy's dimenBut when I saw her walk in one night I knew that Id be all right innn[Chorus]nTelluride, the snow fallin' down, I was wakin' up in that sleepy little townnIn her eyes my world came so alive, I never will forget the moment she arrived in TelluridennWe spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire castin' shadows on the cabin wall, nDrownin' in desirenConfessin' all our secrets and laughin' out loud, so high up on that mountain, nI thought wed never come downnIt was a dream we were livin' in and I was the happiest I'd ever been innn[Chorus]nnTelluride, whoa-oh-ohnnIt ended just like a movie scene and I had to play the partnOf the lover who stood there and watched her leave and me with the frozen heartnnnIn Telluride, the snow fallin' down, standin' there alone in that sleepy little townnIn her eyes, my world came so alive, I never will forget the day she said goodbyenn[Chorus]
