Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)
Bart Howard
Won't you fly me
Won't you fly me
Won't you fly me to the moon
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 know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along
So let me translate to you
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. kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.
I love you.
