When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car
  I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar
  Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by
  On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime
  But when I saw her walk in one night
  I knew that I'd be all right in
    Telluride, the snow falling down
  I was waking 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
  Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire
  Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud
  So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down
  It was a dream we were living in
  And I was the happiest I'd ever been in
    Telluride, the snow falling down
  Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
  In her eyes, my world came so alive
  I never will forget all those sleepless nights
  In Telluride
    Telluride, whoa-oh-oh
    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
    In Telluride, the snow falling down
  Standing there alone in that sleepy little town
  In her eyes, my world came so alive
  I never will forget the day she said goodbye
    In Telluride, the snow falling down
  Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
  In her eyes, my world came so alive
  I never will forget all those sleepless nights
  In Telluride
