Fly Me To The Moon
Bart Howard
Poet of the music many words
To say a simple thing
But it takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words I’ve been playing
For you I’ve written a song
To be sure that you know what I’m saying
I translate as I go along
Fly me to the moon
Let me play beneath 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 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
