Let me see what spring is like on
A-jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
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

A couple weeks ago I made a phone call to some business. While on hold, when these places often play music, "Fly Me To The Moon" by Joe Harnell was among the selections. I was amazed. I jut listened to this 4 times! :-)

I think this is the best version of this classic. Always loved it and it still sounds great. It is, itself, a classic.
