The song "Fly Me To the Moon" sung by Frank Sinatra is a classic love song that expresses the desire to be with the one you love. At the beginning of the song, the singer expresses his wish to fly to the moon and play among the stars, suggesting that he wishes to be an astronaut in love. The comparison of space travel with love is a metaphor for the seemingly impossible nature of the love he desires.
When he sings "in other words," it is a cue for the object of his affection to hold his hand and kiss him. He then pleads with them to fill his heart with song and to let him sing forevermore. He stresses that the person he's singing to is all he longs for and worships. The repeated use of "in other words" suggests that he is looking for alternate words to express how strongly he feels about them.
The line "Please be true" highlights his desire for honesty and fidelity in the relationship. Finally, he uses the phrase "I love you," a direct statement of his feelings, bringing the song to a satisfying conclusion.
