Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Colorado Christmas lyrics

Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel,<br>You'd never know that it was christmas eve.<br>The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,<br>And the temperature is 84 degrees.<br>I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below<br>As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene<br>There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,<br>And santa drives a rolls royce limosine.<br><br>But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air<br>From telluride to boulder down below<br>The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere<br>Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow<br><br>I remember christmases when I was just a boy<br>In the morning I would run to see the tree.<br>And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy<br>Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.<br>Now the sun is setting in the california sky<br>And I can't find the spirit anywhere<br>So I think it's time for me to tell los angeles goodbye<br>I'm going back home toook for christmas there<br><br>But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air<br>From telluride to boulder down below<br>The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere<br>Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
