Like paradise upon this earth
Its wonders to behold,
A gateway to the wilderness
Where all my dreams unfold,
The changing of its colours as
The clouds go floating by,
Above the Rocky Mountains in
The Colorado sky.
The mighty river flowing in
The valley of the pine,
The shooting star in meadows on
A summer's day so fine,
The forest is alive with song
I watch the bluebirds fly,
Above the rugged landscape in
The Colorado sky.
The seasons change so quickly yet
Its precious soul remains,
As wind does bring the snowfalls there
Upon the mighty plains,
To see the snow-capped mountains with
Their peaks that reach so high,
Beneath the fiery sunsets in
The Colorado sky.
