Colorado (Sandra Reemer song)

"Colorado" is a song performed by Dutch singer Sandra Reemer. It represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, held in Jerusalem. The song was composed by Andreas van Toorenburg with lyrics by Peter Bewley.

The song is an up-tempo disco-influenced number sung from the perspective of a woman longing to escape to the American state of Colorado. She dreams of a life filled with sunshine, wide open spaces, and freedom. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the allure of Colorado as a place of escape from the everyday struggles and limitations of her current life.

Reemer performed the song 12th in the running order, following Germany and preceding Portugal. At the close of voting, "Colorado" received 51 points, placing 12th out of 19 entries. It was the last of Sandra Reemer's three Eurovision performances representing the Netherlands, having previously participated in 1972 and 1976.

The song was released as a single and achieved moderate success in the Netherlands and other European countries.
