Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)

Poets often use many words to say a simple thing
it takes thought and time to write to make a poem sing
with music and words I've been playing
for you I have written a song
to be sure that you know what I'm saying
I'll translate has I go along

Fly~me to the moon
and let me play among the stars
let me see what's spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
in other words, hold my hand
in other words, darling, kiss me

Feel 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!
