Moon River Lyrics
I'm crossing you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river
And me
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river
And me
This song represents a very classic drama, that of people who leave home, which is typically a small place, to search for fame, fortune and happiness in bigger places, to never be able to return or ever feel at home anywhere. Holly herself is a tragic character, so beautiful and glamorous, surrounded by reach people and celebrities, drifting in and out of her life, always fascinated with her, never loving her. In the book she actually doesn't end up with the poor writer, they are just friends and she sends him a postcard from buenos aires one day, so basically she keeps drifting in these strange circles to never find home again.
Ok so... Henry Mancini wrote the music... Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics... and many people including Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Louis Armstrong, and Frank Sinatra sang it... Now that that's settled... I absolutely love this song and the movie of course... I like the version in the movie the best just because Hepburn has such a pretty soft voice but it's just a beautiful song in general and it definitely makes me cry too...
i loved when Audrey Hepburn sung this in Breakfast at Tiffany's, how amazing.
My favorite song when I was about nine years old - nearly 40 yeas ago! - and still absolutely beautiful.
yay for breakfast at tiffany's
i love this song! and i thought audrey hepburn sang it beautifully in Breakfast at Tiffanys
do you know there was a critic who said that the film would be a lot better if they got rid of "that damn song"? well, it just so happens that "that damn song" is right on this page. the critic? well...
And the song exactly fits the story of the movie. That critic sucks.

And when he said that at the films preview, Audrey Hepburn stood up and said, "over my dead body!"

I'm crossing you in style
I love Audrey Hepburn singing it! It's ironic because my mom loved Audrey Hepburn and she named me after her, and I totally love Audrey too!!
Lyrics correction: "Oh, dream maker" should be "Old dream maker".
Also, I don't get the exclamation mark at the end, but that's a matter of taste I guess.
Beautiful lyrics, so you gotta be careful with them!
