|
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 |
