Colorado Sky    (4B 6136)  

OPENER



Sides face, grand square
Sometimes I can lay there in my bedroll
With the smell of bacon frying on the fire
The morning dew all beaded on my blanket
Slept all night and woke up just as tired

Circle left
Because my saddle's not as soft a pillow
As the summer clouds slowly rollin' by

Allemande left and promenade
I can make out faces I remember
Staring up at that old Colorado sky

FIGURE



Heads square thru count four hands you go
Around the corner girl dosado
Swing thru two by two you know
Spin your top for me
Right & left thru
Square thru 3/4
Swing that corner lady, promenade you know
And you're just as clear as a teardrop in my eye
Staring up at that old Colorado sky

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
I can sip on my last cup of coffee
Feel the coolness of the gentle night-time breeze
The campfire coals are glowing in the darkness
Burning down like some old memory

Circle left
And I lay back down and look up at the picture
Being painted by a million stars on high

Left allemande and promenade
And it takes me through stories of a lifetime
Staring up at that old Colorado sky

CLOSER



Four ladies promenade go walking
Get back home and swing with your date
Join your hands and circle
Allemande left your corner and weave the land
The campfire coals are glowing in the darkness
Burning down like some old memory

Swing and promenade
And it takes me through the stories of a lifetime
Staring up at that old Colorado sky
