They got married on a mountain top in Denver
Just a preacher and a few of their best friends
They said I do, and then he gently kissed her
He whispered if I die tonight, I'll die a happy man
They made a lot of memories to- gether
They came back to that mountain every year
With his head in her lap, he'd smile and tell her
"Baby if I go before you, bring me right back here"
On a cliff in Colo- rado,
The story ends right where it all be- gan
On a cliff in Colo- rado
With tears in her eyes, she said her last good- bye
And let his ashes fly into the wind
Some say she heard his voice softly whisper
And followed it right out into the cold.
They all say that no one went up with her
But at the top they found two sets of footprints in the snow
On a cliff in Colo- rado
The story ends right where it all be- gan
On a cliff in Colo- rado
With tears in her eyes, she said her last good- bye
And stepped right back in- to his arms a- gain
On a cliff in Colo- rado
The story ends right where it all be- gan
On a cliff in Colo- rado
With tears in her eyes, she said her last good- bye
And stepped right back in- to his arms a- gain
