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