Moon River

As you know, I've got a super-intense relationship with music, and I don't play favourites when it comes to songs because music changes everything. So tonight, watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, which always makes me feel fondly melancholy, as always, the stirring, nay, achingly wistful melody of Moon River set my mind to thinking of life's lost moments.

Moon River by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going 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--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Moon River, you know what you are. You know what you mean to me. Together for years on end, drifting along wherever the elements takes us...Someday, my friend.
