There was a girl A very strange enchanted girl They say she wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy And sad of eye But very wise Was she And then one day A magic day she passed my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This she said to me "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return" (instrumental interlude) And then one day A magic day she passed my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This she said to me "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return"
