Lyrics
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In another words, hold my hand
In another words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I longed for
All I worship and adore
In another words, please, be true
In another words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I longed for
All I worship and adore
In another words, please, be true
In another words, I love you
