Its a long way from LA to Denver
Its a long time to hang in the sky
Its 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
I cant remember when Ive ever been so lonely
I forgot what its like to be home
Cant remember what its like to be home

But I think on my ladys sweet memories
I think on my childrens 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 Im 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

But its a long way from this place to Denver
Its a long time to hang in the sky
Its a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
A sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise

One of John Denver's most underrated songs. Full of mood and a sense of the moment. Very reflective. A Denver country classic.
