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,
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.

Good song, simple song made for Moulin Rouge! It's just like the opening song that tells of what the movie's about.

this song was a great way to start off the movie it gave a kind of fairy tale feel to it.

BOWIE RULES!!! But anyway, yeah, it was completely perfect for the movie (as were all the others). I love how it seems the whole movie was based on it, when it probably wasn't added til the end. And it's about what it says it's about so I'm not gonna bother typing it out.

This song was NOT made for this movie. Just to let you know. It's a very old song, and sung by lots of different artist, but I think it was originally done by Nat King Cole.

In case you haven't heard any music that came out before 1995 almost none of the music in Moulin Rouge was written for the movie...lyrics at least.

Only one of the songs in Moulin Rouge was an original piece, byt the way. I'm think it's Come What May, but I'm not entirely sure.

Idk if you've noticed this song is based off the book The Little Prince (Le Petite Prince) and is a really known book in France... Great read and perfect song. Loved Moulin Rouge and the song although written for something different is perfect for the movie...
