Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) Lyrics

Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)"

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars

In other words: hold my hand
In other words: baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever 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
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words: please, be true
In other words, in other words: I love you

When this song was written by Bart Howard in 1954, it had a title "In Other Words".

Frank Sinatra's 1964 version was associated with the Apollo missions to the moon: it became the first music heard on the moon when Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin played it on a portable cassette player after he stepped onto its surface.

Quincy Jones arranged the music for Frank Sinatra's album this track is included on. Jones had worked with Count Basie a year earlier on the album "This Time by Basie" (1963), which also included a version of "Fly Me to the Moon".
