Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) is one of my favorite songs I listened to in the 50s. My mom and dad listened to it a lot when it first hit the charts in 1954. The words and music are by Bart Howard. The key is Eb and played with a Bossa Nova beat. I can still hear Frank Sinatra sing it!

"That's why these songs have lasted as long as they
have because they're just about feelings that don't change. They are
love songs, they are not specific, those kinds of feelings don't change."
Sarah Vaughn also recorded this song, along with many others.
