Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
(instrumental - first verse)
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you

as rec by Judy Garland w Orch cond by Mort Lindsey
Sep 20th 1963
Poets often use many words to make a poem sing;
It takes time and thought and rhyme to make a poem ring!
With music and words I've been playing,
For you I have written this song;
Just to be sure you know what I'm saying,
I'll translate as I go along.
Fly me to the moon and let me live 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 for evermore,
You are all I long worsip, all I long for and adore.
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you!
Fill my heart with song and let me sing for evermore,
You are all I long worsip, all I long for and adore.
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you!
