Fly Me to the Moon

Carmen McRae

Poets often use many words to say a simple thing

It takes thought ang 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 much you known what i'm saying

I'll translate as I go along

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the star

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 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
