[Live Intro]
This is so terrific, being unplugged
I really like it
Let's really-let's really get unplugged, okay?
We're gonna get a lil', Vance, can we turn all the microphones off?
Thanks

[Verse 1]
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 go along

[Verse 2]
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me know what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

[Verse 3]
Fill my heart with songs
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
