Lyrics
========================================================================

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

Oh Dreammaker you heartbreaker,
Wherever your 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 huckelberry friend.
Moon River and me.
