(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?... |
