Nature Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1: David Bowie]
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

[Verse 2: David Bowie]
And then one day
One 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"

[Spoken Outro: Nicole Kidman]
I love you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
