There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy.
+7
They say he wandered very far, very far,
Over land and sea;
-5
A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he.
And then one day, a magic day he passed my way;
+7
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings,
This he said to me,
-5 +7
"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn
-5 -5 +5
Is just to love and be loved in re - turn."
(Instrumental Interlude - 1st 3 lines of second verse)
-5 +7
"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn
-5 -5 +5
Is just to love and be loved in re - turn."
