Please come to Denver with the snowfall  
We’ll move up into the mountains so far that we can’t be found  
And throw ‘I love you’ echoes down the canyon  
And then lie awake at night till they come back around

Colorado Rocky Mountain high  
I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky  
The shadow from the starlight  
Is softer than a lullaby  
Rocky Mountain high…

See the sunlight through the pine, taste the warm of winter wine.  
Dream of softly falling snow, winter skol, aspenglow.  
As the winter days unfold, hearts grow warmer with the cold.  
Peace of mind is all you know, winter skol, aspenglow.

It’s a cold, cold Christmas, but I can warm you up.  
It’s a cold, cold Christmas, wait and see.  
It’s a cold, cold Christmas until next year  
Why don’t you have a hot one with me?

Oh, we’ll have a Christmas , a summer Christmas  
We’ll have one fine fun-time unwinding  
In the sunshine Christmas  
Oh, we’ll spend yuletide, down by the poolside,  
This year let’s have Christmas in July

The sun is shining, the grass is green  
The orange and palm trees sway  
There’s never been such a day  
In Beverly Hills, L.A.

But it’s December the 24th  
And I’m longing to be up North…

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.  
So many gifts have been opened today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.  
It’s Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.

All is quiet on New Year’s Day  
A world in white gets underway

Nothing changes on New Year’s Day

Enchantress came to me  
And said, meet me at the lake tonight  
I hunt this song to the white  
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise  
Peace, no more lies

A pretty man came to me  
Never seen eyes so blue  
I could not run away  
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream  
It seemed like he knew me  
He looked right through me

Look at me, you never look at me  
Ooh, I’ve been sitting, staring, seems so long  
But you’re looking through me, like I wasn’t here at all  
No reply, there’s no reply at all

And tenement halls  
And whispered in the sound of silence.

All through the caravan, she was dancing with all the men  
Waiting for the rising sun everyone was having fun  
I hate to see the lady go knowing she’ll never know  
That I love her, I love her  
A gypsy woman
