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
