Watch “Audrey Hepburn – Moon River (Best Version )” on YouTube

Moon river, wider than a mile
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
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Songwriters: Johnny Mercer / Henry Mancini

Wasn’t hard to love you
Didn’t have to try
Wasn’t hard to love you

Held you for a little while

Drove you to the station
Never asked you why

Trying to catch your eye
