The lyrics to "Fly Me to the Moon" by London Julie are a classic romantic tune about a lover's desires to be with their significant other. The first verse talks about being taken to the moon and playing among the stars, with a desire to see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. It’s a metaphor for wanting to experience new and exciting things with this person. The second verse expresses the desire for the lover to fill the singer's heart with song and let them sing forever more. The singer worships and adores them and wants them to always be true to their love. The overall message is one of longing, desire, and devotion to a loved one.
There is also an element of escapism in the song, with the idea of being taken away to another world. The theme of space travel was common in the 1960s when the song was released, and it was said to have been inspired by the Apollo missions, which aimed to achieve lunar landings. This reflects the desire to escape the world and explore something new and unknown, which links to the romantic desire to explore new things with a lover.
Interestingly, the opening line of this song was originally "Fly me to the moon and let me swing among the stars" but after Frank Sinatra recorded it his version used the words “let me play among the stars” which is the version that has become the most well-known.

My mom listened to this kind of music all the time, while she did chores around the house. I am always so grateful for being exposed to such a range of great sounds from the 50's - 60's when I was growing up.
