Shirley Bassey - Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) Lyrics






Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and
Time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words
I've been playing
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you know
What I'm saying
I'll translate as I'll go along
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
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

    A very classy lady, and a beautiful rendition.

    Gorgeous. But the definitive recording of Bart Howard"s "ln Other Words" still belongs to Christine Andreas.

    The title of this song is actually....'In Other Words'..... not 'Fly Me To The Moon'....a very common mistake...even by some record companies. Those words are actually sung once throughout...but this song became famous for them. #everydayaschoolday :-)

    P.... ....

    Well no, actually. The title was originally "In Other Words" however when Peggy Lee recorded her version she convinced the writer, Bart Howard, to officially change the name to "Fly Me To The Moon".

    I have the EP from which this song comes. I treasure it still. Shirley is great as an artiste and as an institution. She enver fails to light up the scvreen whenever we see her.

  23. A.... S....

    LINDO!!!!!!
    Voz envolvente com as palavras.Muinto sentimenti e sensibilidade .

  24. z.... ....

    I expect these were the real last words sung by Christ as he ascended into the sky, see Acts 1v9. The first century writers expected heaven was just above the sky or behind the stars so it made sense to them to write Jesus as flying up into the clouds but now adays the question is, " Where exactly was he heading ? Jupiter or Mars ? "

  25. N.... N....

    Oh my god..

  26. T.... H....

    no one sings like Dame Shirley

  27. B.... M....

    Quite magical indeed. Thank you for uploading this.

  28. b.... v....

    esta voz ......intervino en mi corazon y alma.......desde pequeño.......si todos los terremotos que causo en mi ........son los que causo en todos los que la escucharon y los que la escuchan actualmente.....no hay instrumento que sea capaz de medir......lo que este sonido vocal significa.........un volcan tremendo

  29. k.... ....

    Beautiful voice and lyric. Thanks.
