Fly (Let) me to the moon and let me play among the start.
Let me see you what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand in other words, baby kiss me.
Fill my heart with song and 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.
Speak
Fly (Let) me to the moon and let me play among the start.
Let me see you what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand in other words, baby kiss me.
Fill my heart with song and 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.
Fill my heart with song and 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.
In other words, I love you.

Frank Sinatra，一位本世纪西洋流行乐坛甚具影响力的艺人，集歌手、演员、节目主持人、唱片公司老板等角色于一身，虽未受过正统音乐训练，但他却能以一副浑然天成的好嗓音以及个人肢体魅力，将百老汇、流行歌、爵士乐……等曲风融合，创造出独树一帜的个人风格——一种属于“瘦皮猴”Frank Sinatra的风格，无人能出其右。从1941年起Frank就获奖无数，包括获得爵士Down Beat杂志所颁的24座奖座以及陆续获得9座葛莱美奖的肯定。而这些让他名留传奇人物殿堂的佳绩多数是他在1953年转换唱片公司所缔造的。
