Lyrics Fly Me To the Moon (In Other Words) - Carmen McRae

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
And so 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 know 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
