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
|
Very wise was he
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Then one day
|
A magic day he passed my way
|
And while he spoke of many things
|
Fools and kings
|
This he said to me
|
The greatest thing
|
You'll ever learn
|
Is to love
|
And be loved in return
|
|
(Scat)
|
|
Chorus
|
|
(Scat)
|
|
If I loved you, time and again
|
I would try to say all I'd want you to know
|
If I loved you, words wouldn't come
|
In an easy way, round in circles I'd go
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
|
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
|
Soon you'd leave me
|
Off you would go in the mist of day
|
Never, never to know
|
How I love you, if I loved you
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
