I met her here in California
Fell in love and then she was gone
And she always talked about Denver
And going back to her Colorado home

So lucky old Colorado
You've got the girl of my dreams
She loves you, Colorado
Much more than she'll ever love me

You know I'd take her back in a heartbeat
That is, if I thought that I could
But she's somewhere warm in Colorado
And she's gone, I think, for good

So lucky old Colorado
You've got the girl of my dreams
She loves you, Colorado
More than she'll ever love me

You know I hope that she's happy in Colorado
And I hope that she'll always be
But if she ever comes back to California
I hope something reminds her of me

So lucky old Colorado
You've got the girl of my dreams
She loves you, Colorado
More than she'll ever love me
Yeah, she loves you, Colorado
Much more than she'll ever love me
