It's a long way from L.A. to Denver   It's a long time to hang in the sky   It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen   A sweet Rocky Mountain paradise   Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise      Springtime is rollin' round slowly   Grey skies are bringin' me down   Can't remember when I've ever been so lonely   I forgot what it's like to be home   Can't remember what it's like to be home      I think on my lady's sweet memories   I think on my children's sweet smiles   I think on my home in Starwood in Aspen   All my friends and the snow covered hills   Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills      And I tell you I'm happy to be here   To share and consider this time   For I see here the shadows of changes   And a feeling of new friends to find   And I see here some new friends to find      It's a long way from this place to Denver   It's a long time to hang in the sky   It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen   A sweet Rocky Mountain paradise   Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
