| Audrey Hepburn – Moon River Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Audrey Hepburn's character (Holly Golightly) in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is, for most of the movie, searching for wealth, status, and material gain. However, the character turns out to have a deeper personality, and is in fact searching for herself. She is a very lonely person. I feel that this song illustrates her quest for her dream life, in a way. She actually admits in the movie that she doesn't know what she wants yet, and she is singing about trying to find it in the song. Moon River is the hypothetical path to that dream life she seeks. 'Wider than a mile' explains how she finds it difficult to cross that river to a place where she knows and has what she wants, she knows who she is. 'I'm crossing you in style' could reference her socialite lifestyle. 'Some day' means she hasn't found what she is looking for yet. 'You heartbreaker' explains how she has been let down as she makes her way. 'Wherever you're goin'/I'm goin' your way' is a way of saying that she will never give up, and will keep trying to, hypothetically, cross that river. The second verse, to me, seems to show that the singer is lonely (as Holly Golightly is) and is searching for a companion, someone to go through life with her. P.S.
