Fly me to the moon

Now, this man, here [Count Basie] is gonna take me by the hand and he gonna lead me down the right path to righteousness, and all that other modern Jazz… In the right tempo!

Fly me to the moon
Let me swing among the stars
let me see what spring is like on
A-Jupiter and Mars\

In other words
Hold my hand
In other words
Baby, kiss me\

Fill my heart with sun
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore\

In other words
Please, be true
In other words
I love you”

— From “Fly me to the Moon” by Frank Sinatra at “Sinatra at the Sands” (with Count Basie)
