Nature Boy 1948 Nat King Cole

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 June 2003

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,
one summer day,
he passed my way
and as 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."

the score suggests that this should be played with a jazz feel.
I think I have managed to fail in this respect!
