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"

(instrumental interlude)

"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"

Review about Nature Boy

At last I understand | Reviewer: Carl Marshall | 8/24/09

This song always puzzled me. Now at the age of nearly fifty, a very strange and lonely boy, a lttle sad of eye has passed my way and and tells me of his deep love for me. For once in my life, after many years of being alone in relationships I have let myself believe his words and believe in myself and, in doing so, I have indeed learned the greatest thing I'll ever learn, which is just to love and be loved in return. This song says it all.



My neighbor @ Venice Beach Ca | Reviewer: paul smith | 6/24/09

I first met eden in Venice about 1965,he and his teenage son lived accross the alley in small house near my apt. He was a very quiet person who
had his own agenda. He would walk a block to the
beach to watch the Sun-set, while meditating,and sometimes blew his flute, Later, both he and his son passed on at diffrent times, He was beautiful!



Nat and only Nat | Reviewer: jessemeade@hotmail.com | 9/29/07

Celine Dion? Grace Slick? Are you freaking kidding me? Nat King Cole was a multi talented super-genius. Those others are total hacks. If you're going to compare anyone to Nat King Cole at least pick someone with even the tiniest bit of musical ability. Not people who shouldn't even be destroying their own songs let alone masterpieces like 'Nature Boy'.



A very strange enchanted boy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/07

This song is beautiful. I’ve been singing it to my son since he was born….he is the very strange enchanted boy.



Nature Boy by Nat King Cole | Reviewer: Mary Conerly | 8/11/07

In my younger days I sang in local talent shows and Nature Boy was one I performed. It has a special place in my heart. Celine Dione has performed it in Las Vegas and her sweet voice is as sweet as Mr. Cole's



the best songs ever | Reviewer: z | 7/25/07

i love this song it's the greatest song ever is there any more songs like this ???
songs that i recommend:my funny valentine by frank sinatra. what becomes of the broken hearted byjimmy ruffin. i've been loveing you too long by otis redding. vincent by don mclean. when a man loves a woman by percy sledge. knights in white satin by moody blues. bang bang (my baby shot me down) by nancy sinatra. i who have nothing by tom jones.



Nature boy | Reviewer: jan suberman | 7/3/07

What a voice! Nat King Cole wa so smooth when he sang it almost made the world stop just to listen.




The composer | Reviewer: Manda Djinn | 6/27/07

I was surprised to find that my music sheet had the name Miles Davis in the composer spot. Knowing that he was not the composer, I came to this site to learn the true composer. I never heard the name Eden Ahbez before. He wrote a truly beautiful song and Nat King Cole's version is the one and only that always come to mind but then... Nat was always great.



Grace Slick | Reviewer: Markus | 6/23/07

Nobody performed the song as good as Grace Slick & The Great Society on an obscure disc with recordings of pre-Jefferson Airplane from 1965!



Nature Boy | Reviewer: Linda | 5/15/07

The 1st time I heard this song was on an old 78 record on an old phonograph. It was my grandmothers and I fell in love the first time I heard it! Ever since I've been a Nat King Cole fan!
