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 going I'm going 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
Moon river and me.
(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
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.

The singer refers to his friend as his "huckleberry friend", implying a relationship that is close and enduring.
The song's river serves as a metaphor for the journey of life, and the singer expresses a desire to join the dream maker in crossing it to see what new adventures await.
