FLY ME TO THE MOON (IN OTHER WORDS)

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

to be sure that you'll know what i'm saying

i'll translate as i go along

fly me to the moon,

and let me play mong 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 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!

in other words please be true!

in other words i love you!
