Nature Boy Lyrics - Leonard Nimoy

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"
