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
