Moon River

One of the greatest songs ever made! A classic that became one of the softest most romantic songs ever.

 

"Moon River" is a Jazz song first performed by the great "Audrey Hepburn" in the 1961 movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". It was written by "Johnny Mercer" and composed by "Henry Mancini". Since 1961, this song has been covered by many artists like "Andy Williams", "Aretha Franklin", "Shirley Bassey", "Frank Sinatra", "Rod Stewart", "Paul Anka", " Sarah Brightman", " R.E.M.", "The Killers",  and many more. Hepburn's version was not included in the original movie soundtrack, only months after Hepburn's death in 1993 her version was released on an album titled "Music from the Films of Audrey Hepburn".

And here the lyrics:

 

"Moon River"

 

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 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 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 that same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
