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
