Colorado

Oh, the night time comes on slow in Colorado
 Mountains of blue and green
 Stars like to whisper little things
 And the moon always sings her song to me
 Saying, "Boy, when you look at the horizon
 Won't you tell me what it is you see?
 Do you have to make up something from nothing
 Or is it just the way you knew it to be?"
 Singing "Boy, you're gonna break her heart
 If not now, then some time along the way
 Well, there might be a palace in this fairytale, I know
 But boy, you're gonna break her heart
 Oh, boy, you're gonna break her heart"
 I told the moon, he lives so far away and lonesome
 "To you, the Earth's just a spinning ball of clay
 Where the sky falls, the land is ever changing
 From the mountains to the foothills and the plains
 And the morning sky is rich and filled with color
 Sun comes up to even out the day
 When it goes down, that tapestry's painted
 Is sure to go as quickly as he came"
 I know I'm gonna break her heart
 If not now, then some time along the way
 Well, there might be a palace in this fairytale, I know
 But I know I'm gonna break her heart
 Oh, I know I'm gonna break her heart
 Oh, in the evening sky, won't you tell me why I'm going away so long?
 Come the early morning hours, I'll be miles and miles away from my home
 Oh, I know I'm gonna break her heart
 I'm gonna break her heart, I'm gonna break her heart
