Colorado Christmas Lyrics - Singles - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel, 

You'd never know that it was christmas eve. 

The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells, 

And the temperature is 84 degrees. 

I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below 

As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene 

There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows, 

And santa drives a rolls royce limosine. 

But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air 

From telluride to boulder down below 

The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere 

Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow

I remember christmases when I was just a boy 

In the morning I would run to see the tree. 

And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy 

Well, I always thought they sang them just for me. 

Now the sun is setting in the california sky 

And I can't find the spirit anywhere 

So I think it's time for me to tell los angeles goodbye 

I'm going back home toook for christmas there

But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air 

From telluride to boulder down below 

The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere 

Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
