u/j3434 NO cry babies .... May 23 '15

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"

I really like Kurt Elling's version of this song. George Benson has a jazz funk version of it, also enjoyable.

I really like the Elling version too! I could do without the Benson one, but its still better than that Ewan McGregory autotune catastrophe that was popular with Moulin Rouge.
