Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 forevermore
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 forevermore
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
