Green-Eyed Boy

(Dolly Parton)



I flew off to the wild blue yonder, I had a dream and I had to go

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 homemade 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

And 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.



Chorus:

Take me back, If just in memory

And fill my cup again with joy

The fire still burns in the old rock chimney

And I still burn for that green-eyed boy .



Chorus:

Take me back, If just in memory

And fill my cup again with joy

The fire still burns in the old rock chimney

And I still burn for that green-eyed boy .



Oh, oh, how I love that green-eyed boy

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?...
