INTRO
There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
There's a heaven of blue
And we'll go there, just you and I
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along
CHORUS:
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
These lyrics by Bart Howard(1954) were immortalized by "Old Blue Eyes"
himself, Frank Sinatra. The song was recorded on June 9, 1964,
arranged by Quincy Jones. The Count Basie Orchestra provided the
soaring background music that literally took Frank's vocals into another
stratosphere.
Fly Me To The Moon
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
In other words, please be true
In other words
In other words
I love you
Frank Sinatra
