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"
