Moon River Lyrics

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
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 rainbows end,
Waitin' â??round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day

Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' â??round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, and me
