Moon River Lyrics

[Verse]
Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way

[Chorus]
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's ends
Waiting around the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's ends
Waiting around the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
