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 ev - er learn Is just to love and be loved in re - turn." (Instrumental Interlude - 1st 3 lines of second verse) "The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn Is just to love and be loved in re - turn."
