Lyrics

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style, someday
Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end
Waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossin’ you in style someday
Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after that same rainbow’s end
Waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
Moon river, moon river, moon
