green-eyed boy

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

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

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

ooh

ooh

how i love that green-eyed boy

ooh

ooh

ooh

and i still miss

that green-eyed boy

do you think about me

when the nights are long and cold

do you ever miss me

do you my green-eyed boy
