Nat King Cole - Nature Boy 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"

    This song makes me cry EVERY TIME I listen to it because the hardest thing to learn is how to accept being loved in return.
    The loving is easy. Accepting love from others can be. . .difficult when you've been convinced you are unlovable or unworthy of love.

    R.... K....

    Do not despair. Rebecca. Everybody has somebody waiting for them. Just be patient. xx

  39. D.... A....

    beautiful song and so very true
    "the greatest thing you'll ever learn
    is just to love, and be loved in return"

  40. S.... G....

    Había un muchacho = There was a boy ...

  41. �.... ....

    흠 ㅈㅇㄷ ㅁㄴ ㅈㄱ
    ㄴㄱ ㅈㅇㅎㄴ ㄴㅋㅋ.

  42. E.... ....

    Genial!

  43. J.... A....

    Incomparable -- Nat was in a class by himself.

  44. r.... ....

    What a wonderful voice this man had, and what a superb vocal rendition. Too bad they over-produced the orchestration. IMHO, it was distracting.

  45. A.... ....

    Came here after Aurora's interpretation.
    Such a beautiful song!💜

  46. H.... ....

    i am 26 and i find this deep

  47. S.... H....

    A voice that feels like a warm loving hug.

    S.... H....

    Great description, I totally agree, was there ever a more soothing sound than the great Nat King Cole?

  48. d.... w....

    Still the best version I've heard.

  49. A.... D....

    Alien covenant

  50. c.... ....

    I can't believe I didn't know this song. I heard it first in a version by Hugh Coltman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9lUDZhOWV0). Hugh is also AMAZING...

  51. J.... G....

    UNTAMED HART....DO YOU REMEMBER?

  52. J.... G....

    GABI. i'am...

  53. M.... 1....

    Passed not past. One means to have gone by someplace, the other means in a time before now.

    M.... 1....

    Yes, we know. Needless pedantry. Can you not lose yourself in the song without acting like some needy sixth-former?

  54. M.... G....

    Nature Boy by Eden Ahbez. The first time I listen this beautiful song was in the movie The Boy With Green Hair. 😊 Nat King Cole amazing voice. 😊🎼🎼🎼

  55. D.... A....

    The poem that became the lyrics for this song were written a few months before I was born and I believe it came out as a record when I was a few months old. My father loved this song and he always called me, "his strange and enchanted boy." I remember hearing that song as a kid and being very melancholic when I heard it. My life has kind of paralleled the "boy" in the song.

  56. R.... E....

    One of the greatest gifts to us, the brilliant and talented, Nat King Cole. Mahalo ~

  57. N.... :....

    Who's listening in 2019? I am

  61. �.... �....

    Вся суть человека запрессована в эту загадочную песню.

  62. A.... P....

    Listening to this song, I see and hear things in my imagination that I can't really put into words. It is beautiful, it is whimsical, it is painful.....

  63. a.... ....

    Simply beautiful.
    Thank you Nat and Eden.

  64. s.... n....

    I'm here because of Untamed Heart

  65. S.... B....

    The words are a big lie. Love is the biggest lie you'll ever know. Give up love and being loved and stop playing with this temptation or itll kill you.

  66. D.... A....

    I LOVE singing songs like this. These really old songs. I have the right sort of singing voice for it, same sort of vibrato. Might do a cover and upload it =)

  67. j.... a....

    Merci. 😚

  68. S.... B....

    This arrangement is beautiful

  69. K.... S....

    ...No one...not MJ...not SINATRA...not a CANARY, had such a voice. That voice could calm a Raging Inferno.#fact. It's smoother than a baby's bottom!#fact. It could be bottled as pills for Insomnia#fact. ....

  70. J.... E....

    What a voice, what a song

  71. J.... O....

    . . . and the greatest of these is Love

  72. T.... N....

    When I was a kid...we had little to listen too...this was the 1950's...and then NAT came to entertain us all....God ye rest ye merry gentleman...Never be another like Nat.

  73. N.... B....

  77. N.... ....

    The Joker.

  78. A.... ....

    My mom always sung this song to me before I went to bed such a calming song

  79. T.... E....

    Please correct the grammatical error (it's "passed" not "past") ... sorta ruins the entire presentation.

  80. K.... H....

    He sound's like silk. One of the greatest talents ever. Beautiful song.

  81. A.... M....

    Fifty four people have no soul.

  82. L.... ....

    I love Nat King Cole and the only other musician that does this masterpiece justice is George Benson.....I missed my era coming to this plane in 71.....

  83. P.... R....

    Nat King Cole's-nature boy's lyrics that mingled with his mesmerising voice is the treasure of a life time.

  84. l.... l....

    I am in ❤ with his voice 😍

  85. T.... M....

    I'm here because of a manhwa😂😂😂
    Weird ey😊😊

  86. C.... L....

    Listen to Auroras version, its 👏👏👏 good

  87. S.... D....

    i think music from around this time period will only always remind me of Christmas and old VHS movies.
    But hey, I'M HERE FROM A VIVZIEPOP STREAM :D

  88. L.... h....

    And never try to kill him
    2nd lesson

  89. L.... h....

    For all my friends and parents died too soon
    Never betrayed a nature boy

  90. H.... ....

    The boy have become a grown man, now facing many more challenges in life!

  91. D.... S....

    I'm not a Jesus freak, but this seems to be about someone meeting Jesus.

  92. k.... -....

    am I the only one who came because of Dan’s old dailybooth

  93. R.... ....

    My father and I were just swooning over how he delivers those lines. If you don't love Nat King Cole there's something wrong with you

  94. A.... C....

    I prefer the simplicity of his version with the Spanish guitar

  95. S.... A....

    1,000%!

  96. r.... b....

    Oh! man, smooth, the King should have been in the beginning of his name.

  97. M.... W....
