STARWOOD IN ASPEN

by John Denver

It's a long way from LA to Denver
It's a long time to hang in the sky
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
Sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise
Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain Paradise

Springtime is rolling round slowly
Grey skies are bringing me down
I can't remember when I've even 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, 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
All 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
The sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
Oh my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
