What you give me is more than love Where you take me is higher up than I'll ever go The road brings me home when you're by my side But the years are passing so fast I could cry And I'll always know That you were my baby Someday you'll grow But I'll hold onto these memories These moon river days What you give me is more than joy Enough to live for, my darling boy The bitter and sweet now, the courage you find To stand on your own now, and leave me behind But I'll always know That you were my baby Someday you'll grow up But I'll hold onto these memories These moon river days Oh, you got a lot of roads to travel And soon you're gonna need me no more But I'll always know That you were my baby Someday you'll go But I'll hold onto these memories These moon river days Someday you'll grow But I'll hold onto these memories Someday you'll go But I'll hold onto these memories These moon river days
