Moon River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Moon (Moon) river (River)
Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style (Crossing you)
Someday (I'll be crossing you someday)
Oh, dream maker (Maker)
You heartbreaker (Don't be such a heartbreaker)
Where ever you're going (Your way)
I'm going your way (I'm going your way)

[Verse 2]
Oh, two drifters (Two drifters)
Off to see the world (Off to see the world)
There's such a lot of world (Such a lot of world, lalalalala) To see (In my world of box of stars, such a lot of, such a lot of)
We're after (Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're after) the same Rainbow's end (I can see the rainbow)
Waiting round the bend (Rainbow's end)
My huckleberry friend (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Bridge]
Moon river
River
River
River
River
River
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa…
[Verse 1]
Moon river (Moon river)
Wider than a mile (Wider than a mile)
I'm crossing you in style (Crossing you in style)
Someday (La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la)
(Someday)
Oh, dream maker (Maker)
You heartbreaker
Where ever I'm going I'm going your way
(Way way way way way)

[Verse 2]
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such (There's such a lot of world) a lot of world
(such a lot of world)
To see (To see)

[Outro]
We're after the same rainbow's end
(Huckleberry friend)
(Waiting round the bend)
(Huckleberry friend)
(Waiting round the bend)
(Find the rainbow's end)
(Huckleberry friend)
(Waiting round the bend)
(Huckleberry friend)
And me
