Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
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 eyes
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”
