There was a boy

Very strange enchanted boy

Say wandered far very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

Ah but very wise

Wise was he

And then one day

Magic day he passed my way

Spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This is what he said to me

The greatest thing

That you ever ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved in return

And there was a boy

Man he was strange strange boy

He wandered very far very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and he had sad eyes

Ah but very wise

Wise was he

And then one day

One day he passed my way

We spoke of many things

Fools and kings

And this is what he said to me

The greatest thing

You ever ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved in return

The greatest thing

You ever ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved in return

This is what he said to me

So just tell me

Why I was walking down the street

The greatest thing

You ever ever learn

Ah to love

And be loved in return
