Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)

(album: Pretty Eyes - 1960)

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words, I've been playing
For you, I have written a song
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words
Hold my hand
In other words
Darling, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words
Please be true
In other words
I love you
Fill my heart with song
And let it sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words
Please be true
In other words
I love you
