Sarah Vaughan Nature Boy song lyrics

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he

And then one day, a magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings

This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"

{instrumental interlude}

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"
