Green-eyed Boy Lyrics - 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

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

Do you think about me 

When the nights are long and cold 

Do you ever miss me 

Do you my green-eyed boy
