The day you left was bitter sweet as
The sparkle in your eyes met runway lights for the first time
Creating the deepest blue I swear I've ever seen
But that moment's beauty was so short-lived

I whispered Give me a call from Chicago when you get there
I swear I love you and I always will
Take care of yourself while we're apart
That way when I see you it'll be like you never left my side

Please say hello to Denver
I'm stuck here alone again
Just give me a call I guess when you get there
Please say hello to Denver
I'm stuck here alone again
Colorado's calling me out

That night I stayed up late and stared at the phone
Praying for collect calls from the west
And at the end of every call before I let that receiver fall
I found myself whispering all the same things

Please say hello to Denver
I'm stuck here alone again
Just give me a call I guess when you find the time
Please say hello to Denver
I'm stuck here alone again
Colorado's calling me out
