Olivia O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling 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
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling 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
