Nature Boy
I was cleaning my bathroom earlier and this song popped into my head. Don't ask me why. I'm as weirded out as you (probably) are.
But it does have beautiful lyrics. Simple and moving. Originally sung by the late, great Nat King Cole, it was revived by David Bowie for the movie "Moulin Rouge".
***
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They said 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 magic day he passed my way
And while he spoke of many this, fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
