Once Upon a Time

When you think of Colorado, most people probably think of the beautiful mountains or great skiing. Denver is enduring a heavy, wet, tree breaking snow as I write this. However, Colorado is also vast rolling farmlands of wheat and corn. As the mountains echo their memories of the wild days of gold and silver mining, the ghosts of the forgotten still silently roam the plains.

Watching you sleep
My weary heart rises up on wing
I hear your smiling laughter
And deep within me, my memory sings

Oh my love, I cannot tell you
How time just flies
Gracefully, we lived our day of glory
Under a sunny sky

Now these days, your bright dreams
Are all I long to see
So sleep well my love
And dream of me
