The days of spring have just begun   And melted snow begins to run   Aspen is a fine place where many people go   And so you're bound for colorado      Don't send me cards from where you've been   Or tell me 'bout the friends you win   But send to me a new leaf just begun to grow   And hurry home from colorado      You told me once that you would like to run away   >from all the fears and all the tears you felt that day   You should know no matter where you go   You have your friends to lean upon   When you're not sure what's goin' on      And if you don't return by the summer I will know   You've found a home in colorado   And you're doing fine in colorado
