Moon River
Jim Reeves · Moonlight and Roses/Jim Reeves Way [BMG UK & Irela [2004]
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style, some day
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
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.
--- Instrumental ---
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My Huckleberry friend, moon river, and me...
