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
