Harry Edward Nilsson III (born June 15, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York - died January 15, 1994), usually credited as simply Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter with a three octave vocal range. He won Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Male Vocal Performance for "Everybody's Talkin'" (1970) and "Without You" (1973), also his two biggest hits. Although both the aforementioned songs were composed by others, he was a talented songwriter in his own right, having written "One", a hit single for Three Dog Night.

G#D#G#D#G#D#G#B Years ago, I knew a ma-a-a-an, he was my mother's biggest fa-a-an, F#BF#B We used to walk beside the sea and he told me how life would be F#BD# When I grew up to be a man.
G#D#G#D#G#D#G#B Years ago, we used to pla-a-ay, he used to laugh when I ran away, F#BF#B But when I fell and hurt my knee he would run to comfort me, F#BD# And the pain would go away.

Years ago, I knew a boy he was his daddy's pride and joy, But when the daddy went away it was such a rainy day That he brought out all his toys.
How the mother did explain, trying to take away the pain, But he just couldn't understand that his father was not a man And it all was just a game.
The years have passed and so have I, making it hard for me to cry, And if and when I have a son let it all be said and done, Let the sadness pass him by.
