Green-Eyed Boy — Dolly Parton

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
