Williams Andy 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)
(Moon river, ooh)
The song "Moon River" by Williams Andy is a beautiful and poetic exploration of the human longing for adventure and companionship. The songwriter makes use of vivid imagery to paint a picture of a vast and mysterious river, wider than a mile, which he is crossing in style. It's clear that he is embarking on a journey, likely one of self-discovery and exploration, and that he is doing so with great optimism and enthusiasm.
In the second verse, we learn that the songwriter is not alone on this journey - he is accompanied by a fellow traveler who shares his sense of wanderlust and adventure. Together, they are "two drifters, off to see the world" and are eager to explore all that it has to offer. Yet, despite the excitement and energy of this adventure, there is an underlying sense of vulnerability and uncertainty. The singer doesn't know where the road will take them, but he is confident that as long as he is with his "huckleberry friend," the journey will be worth it.
In short, "Moon River" is a beautiful song that captures the essence of the human spirit - our longing for adventure, our thirst for companionship, and our willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown.

When I would visit my Mom’s Alzheimer’s care center, I would play this song for her. Her face would light up and her eyes would twinkle, like she was reliving days of her past. ( she could no longer communicate through speech). I would sit there and thank her for being such a great Mom and reflect on the past.
My Mom passed away in January of 2022.
Now when I listen to this song it reminds me of the special time I spent with my Mom, and comforts me knowing that her spirit is always with me.
I love and miss you Mom ❤.
I know one day we will be together again.

My Mom, at 94 and a half, died on Easter after your Mom passed in 2022. Fortunately, she was sharp til the end. That might have made it even harder though. I'll never know. I am here choosing songs for a photo display of her life. The Memorial won't be until next Month June 2023. It took forever to get her paperwork from the Military for her Honors Burial. She was a Marine like my father and deserved the same. I would not back down or just let it go. This song will be very memorable ♥️

😢 I'm sorry for your loss, they say time alleviates the pain. It hasn't done so for me. I miss my mother everyday 😢 God bless and fortitude.

When I had my son, Moon River was the only song that I knew all of the words to. It became my son's lullaby. Now, 45 years later, whenever he hears it he sends me a text that he's thinking of me.
