Lyrics
Nature Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
