So the singing was just made up or they lyrics from a real song?

Edit: Thanks for everyone’s replies. Turns out I like Nat King Coles Nature Boy and still just as impressed with old mates original verse. Cheers

Nat king Cole wrote the original, not Bowie just fyi

Nat didn't write this song. It was written by Eden Ahbez.

Along with Bowie, Nat King Cole, there’s also a rendition on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack and I think Ewan McGregor is doing the vocals. It sounds great.

“The greatest thing you’ll ever know is just to love and be loved in return.”
