Nature Boy

Lyrics: None
Music: Eden Ahbez

The Grateful Dead played a fragment during a rehearsal in 1975. (thanks to Matt Schofield for identifying this)

The original was recorded as a single by Nat King Cole in 1975, with 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 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 ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
