LYRICS Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
Let me see how spring is
On a, Jupiter and Mars
On the planets Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
In other words, honey, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Fill my heart with songs
And let me sing forever more
And let me sing forever
You are all I long for
You are the one I long for
All I worship and adore
The one I adore and admire
In other words, please be true
In other words, be honest.
In other words, I love you
In other words, I love you
