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:
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

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
