There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boyThey say he wandered very farVery farOver land and sea
A little shyAnd sad of eyeBut very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my wayAnd while we spoke of many thingsFools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thingYou'll ever learnIs just to loveAnd be loved in return
A surprise million-selling hit, his first, for Nat King Cole in 1948. Composed by Eden Ahbez, a world class eccentric. The recorded version below. You can watch a differently arranged live performance here.
