  Fly To The Moon(In Other Words)

Lyrics: Utada Hikaru
Music: Utada Hikaru
 

 Poets often use many words 
  to say a simple thing 
  But it takes thought and time and rhyme 
  to make a poet sing 

  
  With music and words 
  I'll be playin' 
  For you I have written a song 

  To be sure that you'll know what 
  I'm sayin' I'll translate as I go along 

  (yeah oh yeah) 

  Fly me to the moon 
  and let me play among the stars 
  Won't you 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 forever more 
  'cause you are all I long for 
  All I worship and adore 

  In other words 
  please me true 
  In other words 
  I love you 

  In other words 
  please be true(please be true, I just want you to be true) 
  In other words 
  I love you(I love you, I love you) 

  (to the moon) 

  Just take me to the moon and far yeah
