"Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars (and butterflies,) fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore . . . " Based on lyrics by- Frank Sinatra In the middle of the night, among stars of veiled crystallite; I float in a dream of airy delight. Oh, the shades of dark hued night, lit by the peaceful moonlight; where butterflies dance ! When the butterflies dance, the stars begin to flicker and prance; it happens all by happenstance. Oh, the purple and blue butters' dance, as I listen in a lovely trance; to moon's song ! To the moon's song, where butterflies kiss stars all night long; gathering in whirling throngs. Oh, listen, listen to the moon's night song, floating and drifting I tagalong; singing moon's song !
