Moon River
Williams Danny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Waiting 'round the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

(Two drifters, off to see the world)
(There's such a lot of world to see)
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend




My huckleberry friend
Moon river, and me

I heard the Andy Williams version earlier today on the radio. I'm afraid it isn't a patch on this one. This is just superb.

@rosiekraxberger2086

Danny Williams has the most beautiful voice, hearing this beautiful song brings back memories to me.

@stevemathews9535

Without doubt the best version of this song. What a pity Danny Williams didn't receive the recognition his amazing voice deserved.

@desmondfitzgerald8063

even better than andy williams' version, believe it or not.
he had one or two more hits, minor hits, and evaporated or emigrated to the moon.
where is he today? maybe wikipedia knows!
by the way, he had a welsh surname and i maintian the welsh, blacks and italians were born to sing.
FULL STOP.
