Original Broadway Cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Nature Boy
[TOULOUSE, sung]

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
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

[TOULOUSE, CHRISTIAN, Both]

The greatest thing (The greatest thing)
You'll ever learn (You'll ever learn)
Is just to love
And be loved
In return
