Lyrics
ASPEN
Written and performed by Matthew Casey 2002
TAKE ME BACK TO THE LITTLE NELL
WE STOOD IN FRONT AND THAT’S WHERE I FELL
HERE’S A PICTURE WITH THAT LOVING TREE
THIS IS WHERE I KNOW YOU’D WANT TO BE
GOING BACK YOU KNOW ITS BEEN SOME YEARS
YOUR COMING WITH ME BUT I’VE LEFT THE TEARS
WALK WITH ME DOWN MEMORY LANE
LET ASPEN SHOW THE WAY
(Just like) JUST LIKE A FRIENDLY WARM EMBRACE
THE FEEL OF HOME IS IN THIS PLACE
chorus
AND I’M GOING BACK TO ASPEN ITS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
YOU STILL ECHO IN THESE MOUNTAINS
I KNOW YOU NEVER WANT TO LEAVE
IM GOING BACK TO ASPEN THERES SOLICE IN THE WIND
I CAN SEE YOUR MEMORY WONT END
TOMORROW MORNING I MAY TAKE SOME RUNS
NEED TO REMEMBER WE SURE HAD FUN
WHEN I LOOK OUT ON THIS LITTLE TOWN
EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE YOU AROUND
(Just Like) JUST LIKE A FRIENDLY WARM EMBRACE
THAT ALWAYS PUT A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE
chorus
AND I’M GOING BACK TO ASPEN ITS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
YOU STILL ECHO IN THESE MOUNTAINS
I KNOW YOU NEVER WANT TO LEAVE
IM GOING BACK TO ASPEN THERE’S SOLICE IN THE WIND
I CAN SEE YOUR MEMORY WONT END
BRIDGE
AND I’M GOING BACK TO ASPEN AND THERE WE’LL FIND REPOSE
YOU CAN DANCE IN THE SPRING FLOWERS
FLY WITH WINTER SNOWS
IM GOING BACK TO ASPEN TO JOIN YOU WITH THE WIND
I CAN SEE I CAN SEE YOUR MEMORY WONT END
