Moon River
Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
"Moon River" is a classic song of longing and hope, sung by Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn) as she gazes out of her New York apartment in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's." At its core, the song speaks to the universal human desire to find someone who shares our dreams and will accompany us on our journey through life. The chorus paints a vivid picture of the "moon river," which is "wider than a mile," and the singer's intention to cross it in style someday. The imagery of the ever-flowing river, which never stops or stays constant, represents life itself, which is constantly in motion and full of change.
The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is waiting for a dream maker, someone who can help them achieve their aspirations, but also acknowledges the inherent danger in falling in love with such a person as they are often heartbreakers. Nevertheless, the singer is committed to following this person, wherever they go. The second verse emphasizes the sense of adventure and wanderlust that comes with this pursuit, as two drifters set out to see the world and discover the "rainbow's end" together. The final line, "My huckleberry friend, moon river and me," cements the bond between the two, as the singer's companion becomes their closest confidant.
Overall, "Moon River" is a timeless tribute to the power of love and the journey of self-discovery that it can inspire. It invites listeners to imagine a world that is not limited by geography, and where anything is possible. Its lyrics have resonated for decades and will likely continue to do so for many years to come.
