Fly Me to the Moon
Brenda Lee · Best Selection [2006]
Fly me to the moon and let me play among 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.
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...
