I flew off to the wild blue yonder

'cause i had a dream

And i had to go

But i'm filled with a sense of wonder

From the love i shared

With a green-eyed boy

Lips as sweet as mountain honey

A body warm as home made wine

But he had no dreams

And no means for money

But he had me just anytime



Chorus:



Take me back, if just in memory

Fill my cup again with joy

The fire still burns in the old rock chimney

And i still burn for that green-eyed boy



Now he was pretty

With chiseled features

Like the movie stars in the magazines

My first love and the son of a preacher

I fantasized me was james dean



But the world outside kept pulling at me

Offered me fame, respect, and gold

Designer clothes and a fancy mansion

Expensive cars, so i chose those



Repeat chorus twice



Ooh, ooh, how i love that green-eyed boy

Ooh, ooh, ooh, and i still miss

That green-eyed boy



Fade:



Do you think about me

When the nights are long and cold

Do you ever miss me

Do you my green-eyed boy
