Nature Boy – by Eden Ahbez
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”
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return”

Here’s my favorite recording of the song. It’s sung by Joanne Weaver, and produced and arranged by André Fratto (otherwise known as “A” in Father Strumming My Boyfriend’s Ribs).
