Moon River

Westlife · Allow Us To Be Frank

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 rainbows end,
Waitin’ ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style, some day . . .

Two drifters, off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world to see,
We’re after the same rainbows end,
Waitin’ ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, and me . . .

Moon River - Westlife

Westlife's "Moon River" stands as a standout track from their 2004 album "Allow Us To Be Frank," blending the group's signature harmonies with a sophisticated jazz-pop arrangement. The song draws inspiration from Henry Mancini's classic composition, reimagining its melancholic melody within the context of the band's mid-2000s sound. This recording exemplifies the group's ability to reinterpret well-known standards, creating a lush, atmospheric piece that showcases their vocal chemistry and songwriting depth. Released during a period of significant commercial success, the track remains a notable example of Westlife's evolution, merging pop sensibilities with the emotional resonance characteristic of their broader discography.
