Fly Me To The Moon
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.
The first verse of Perry Como's classic song, "Fly Me to the Moon," invites us to a journey among the heavenly bodies. Perry urges his lover to "fly me to the moon" and "let me play among the stars," immersing himself in a world that's almost out of reach. The idea behind the lyrics is that the love he shares with his beloved is so strong that it can take them anywhere they want to go, even beyond the confines of this planet. Perry yearns to see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars, and he invites his lover to join him in that adventure. He speaks of a desire to hold his love's hand and asks for a kiss.
The second verse is an invitation for the lover to fill Perry's heart with music, letting him sing forevermore. He declares that his beloved is all he longs for and all he worships and adores. Perry then asks that the love shared be true and goes on to express his heartfelt love for his partner. The artist's words are simple, yet loaded with promise and meaning, as he speaks of the power of love to transcend the limits of the physical world and take us to places where we are free to express ourselves fully.
