Текст песни Colorado Christmas - 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 temperture is 84 degrees.

I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below,
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene.
But there's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine.
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 Caralers 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 to look 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 mornin in the Colorado snow.

It's a quiet Christmas mornin in the Colorado snow.
