Elton John - Moon River 

As an old man It makes me cry thinking of all my family, friends & loved ones I lost from the time I was a boy until now. So many memories.

I grew up listening to Elton John, thank you Sir Elton for being a part of my life.

I'm rediscovering this song after listening to it many times with my mom, She passed away today at age 92. It was her favorite song. Now I see why.

No matter who sings this song I feel as if it brings out the true emotions in the person.

It couldn't get any better!

Everyone has covered Moon River and it makes me cry 😢everytime. We that grew up with this in the 60s. Thank you Elton!!! 😊

My Mom just passed away yesterday she was 91. This was a song she used to sing to me when I was a child. She was a beautiful singer like Streisand but she decided to raise a family of 7. This song will always be in my heart reminding me of her.

Love the man. Love the song. But the voice all but gone :-( the sad truth of life....

Brilliant version. It really demonstrates what a great voice Elton John has. He demonstrates such wonderful musicianship in his arrangement of this much loved classic. Combined with his fabulous piano playing this is hard to top. I think only Audrey can do so and she does so by her sensitivity, great beauty and singing and playing in the context of Holly Golightly’s life story. Aren’t we lucky to be able to enjoy both at the tips of our fingers.

Fantastic !!!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎶🎵🎶

espectacular el tema

Definitely the best version of MOON RIVER❣️

BRILLIANT. Like everything Elton does, he takes a song you've heard many times before and makes it his own.

beautiful. Hermosa voz

One of the most, if not the most, beautifully evocative popular songs ever written. Thank you Elton John.

great and excellent... I love very much

Amazing he honored that song in singing it the way that Andy Williams wished he could have he made it his own with his vocal range that I am very sure that Andy Williams would have loved to hear it. Thank you Elton John for doing that song the honor that it deserves.

I love Elton John, but this song cannot be recreated. Nice effort, but Andy Williams owns this song for eternity.

Omg, I'm not sure if I ever heard Elton do a cover. This melts my heart. Wicked awesome.

He is truly a knight. Sir Elton.

Andy Williams does my favorite rendition but I do love this version.

Amo a Elton John.. me hizo llorar.

Elton certainly knows a good tune when he hears it. This was the kind of melody Paul McCartney said he aspired to writing.

Sir Elton John really Nailed this wonderful song, His pitch perfect rendition and Piano skills speak for them selves. a truely Fabulous cover of a great song Thankyou Sir.

I cry every time I watch the last scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's. This is my favorite song of all time. I first heard it when the movie was first released and it has remained my favorite. Nobody has ever topped Audrey Hepburn's version..... sorry Elton

Every time I find out Elton John covered a song, I HAVE to listen to it, because he never fails to be totally amazing.

just more proof Elton is one of this worlds most talented singer/songwriter of these past century's .I can't believe how much I like this version, pure talent!

I wake at 6.30 every Sunday morning so I can play this song several times. My darling Josie passed away at 6.40 am on 16/05/21, 11 weeks ago, was one of her all time favourite songs. I do play the half instrumental version by Henri Mancini I found on iTunes. Love you, my darling. Xxx

Sensacional interpretação de uma das mais lindas canções já escritas. Elton John é fantástico. 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻🇧🇷

I don't think there's another song out there that stirs the emotions like this one does irrespective of who sings it.

Magnificent!He is definitely one of the greatest singers in the world.

fantastic

one ot the most beautiful songs of all the time...

Elton adds his own inimitable style to a much loved classic song. A wonderful live performance; his professionalism and talent makes this seem effortless.

Gosh, those deep piano chords Elton plays, just makes his music pierce my soul...

As with Terri my Mom always played this song when I was about 10 years old. I'm 70 now and did not know Elton did a version of it . I sit here and cry.

Elton has a lot of stuff, and now he owns Moon River. Wow.

All I can say is WOW! I always have been a big Elton John fan but this is beyond comparison. He took an already classic song and made it his own. Just a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

I love this version and Audrey hepburns 😍

Magnifique chanson !!! Merci beaucoup Elton John !!! J'adore !!! Magnifique et Grand Bravo !!! Super belle la chanson !!! Merci encore !!!

Elton John, you have the most beautiful voice and you sing with such emotion, passion. You are a gem.

My dad used to sing this every night to me at bed time, he passed away when I was 11 years old, love listening to it, brings back great memories of my dad ❤

He show's how eternal Moon River is ... gorgeous ... listen to the other versions too -- Lois Armstrong, Audrey Hepburn, Cpatlton & Beck, but I never thought I say this about my parent's music, and I'm 52. There are just some songs that bridge the generations. This is one of them. Tonight is Mid-Autumn Moon Festival in Hong Kong and China and Vietnam. Andy Williams wasn't a superstar, like today. But if all I left behind was this song, I'd be proud of my life. RIP Andy Williams.

Sir John, you made me cry. Please put this out for those of us who love you and this song.

I'm standing up in 2020, and clapping (standing ovation)-BRAVO!!!

I am impressed he was speaking in French. Classic music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Johnny Mercer (1961).

Yes. This version exudes so much talent. Elton John is incredible.

I remember growing up hearing this song. I was fortunate enough to be able to experience all different types of music. This song is very special to me. Thank you very very much!❤

Wherever this is I LOVE the acoustics. Elton, too, his piano style projects deeply powerful energy.

When I was a child, I loved this song and still do. I am a river swimmer: the Tennessee, Ohio, Drava, Mura, and Danube. This song moved me as a child, an adult, and as one who swims rivers. I know from experience that rivers are wider than a mile. The people along the rivers I've swum reinforced what I learned from Moon River, they are, in fact, a lot wider than a mile.

Making a mark after so many timeless versions of this song is a challenge. Elton John just added one more to the list of the classic performances of Moon River. The end note touches your heart and resonates. Thanks, Elton. Love from Bangladesh.

Great and exquisite version.. two thumbs up... thank you so much for posting... clicked "Like"

One of the best versions I ever heard! Did not know Elton ever sang this song. It was my daughters favorite song and movie (Breakfast at Tiffany's) Love it. She would say "remember we're after the same rainbows end". Moon River and you sweetheart, love you.

Moon River Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossin' you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker 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 rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon River, and me Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossin' you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker 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 rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon River, and me Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon River, and me Rio da Lua (português) Rio da Lua, mais largo do que uma milha Eu irei de encontro a você com elegância, qualquer dia Oh, seu sonhador, você partiu meu coração Aonde quer que você vá, eu seguirei o seu caminho Dois andarilhos, indo por aí para ver o mundo Há tanto do mundo para se ver Nós procuramos o mesmo fim do arco-íris Esperando logo depois da curva Meu doce e aventureiro amigo Rio da Lua, e eu Rio da Lua, mais largo do que uma milha Eu irei de encontro a você com elegância, qualquer dia Oh, seu sonhador, você partiu meu coração Aonde quer que você vá, eu seguirei o seu caminho Dois andarilhos, indo por aí para ver o mundo Há tanto do mundo para se ver Nós procuramos o mesmo fim do arco-íris Esperando logo depois da curva Meu doce e aventureiro amigo Rio da Lua, e eu Dois andarilhos, indo por aí para ver o mundo Há tanto do mundo para se ver Nós procuramos o mesmo fim do arco-íris Esperando logo depois da curva Meu doce e aventureiro amigo Rio da Lua, e eu Original Add a playlist Cifra Imprimir Corrigir

Here's Elton at his best, with a beautiful '60s classic. This was truly excellent.

Amazing performance. Elton is amazing!

I love this song. Elton, you've done a great rendition of it. Thank you.

God he is good

I danced this song with my Sweet mom in her final days. She loved it so much. Hearing Elton sing it is just amazingly beautiful.

I love Elton John's voice!!...so many great singers out there...some how I always go back to him!

He sang it in Sir Elton John style.

This Man is everything for somebody..... Through his voice one can hear more than talent.

Beg your pardon... I don't think he was interested in outdoing Andy Williams or anyone else... I'm just glad he offered us this rendition of Moon River with his very own incomparable voice and musicality... Thanks, Elton!!!

I an crying.. 😪.. soooo beautiful...and the memories of lovely Audrey...

When you can go from All The Young Girls, Sat night, Love Lies Bleeding, to this most beautiful rendition, you've got great artistic range. Hey....after all, it's Elton.

Not as bad as I expected.

No wonder he was "Knighted"; such an amazing artist! I was fortunate enough to see him in Seattle in 1998!

i agree with BEN Pritchett

This is one of the greatest songs of all time it doesn't get better than this...a lighting bolt to the soul a path to heaven

Sir Elton,I like your version of this old beatuiful song and I enjoyed hearing you speak french.

First time I've heard him cover a song in my 48 years of loving him MASSIVELY. I'm dead. What a beautiful and extraordinary talent and human being.

Incrível como a mesma música interpretada por diversos talentos se encaixa perfeitamente no estilo de cada um.

I already knew that Sir Elton would do a beautiful rendition of this song, but I was floored that he also knows enough French to say a few lines. Je suis abasourdi et j'ai vraiment adoré. Rock on Sir Elton.

I loved it at 2:10 when the camera focuses on a point of light and it looks like the moon next to Elton

I wonder if my mother is hearing this?

Thank you Elton John for bringing my Grandmother’s living room back to life...she loved this song..you are simply wonderful

Great classic song so many great covers this was an unexpected great surprise! Fantastic!

Thats a beautiful version but try and also listen to Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton's version if you can, it's amazing

a true masterpiece performed by a living, breathing work of pure art ❤

O m g. Im in tears at sheer beauty of this song and this man. Thank you god for giving us this

So moving...I want this song played when I leave this world one day.

Beautiful rendition by the magnificent Elton John; always a gorgeous voice

Phänomenal how Elton John plays piano. Such a great talent I like all his songs

awesome version! thanks for posting this incredible cover of one of my fave tunes !! i had no idea he covered this until now... how did you come across this, i wonder?

I'm really surprised great performance by Elton John! And that's not so easy when you compare his version with Louis Armstrong or Frank Sinatra ... :D

THUMBS UP !

i have never been a fan of Elton, but WOW!!!

Magnífica interpretación.

Did someone else saw that he forgets the first "and my"? ¿Alguien más vio que olvido el primer "y yo"? Gracias a Dios por los tipos detrás del escenario.

Wowwwww! Como tudo que ele canta é maravilhoso, esta canção ficou linda demais com Elton. I love Moon River,

What a legendary voice. Thank you Elton john for sharing your gift with us.

This song it's one of the favorite of millions of people in more than half of countries of the world❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

this is a brilliant version of moon river, i love it

Elton' French is lovely. It's not great, although much better than mine. But it shows so much respect for the audience, and for the song.

Lovely version. It only could be from Elton John, great musician, sensible person. He's real the one.

I love you Elton, such a huge talent! I didn't expect to like this version as much as the original but I love it!

Love Elton and his version of this beautiful song.

Beautiful piano, beautiful phrasing, a great performance of a great song.

Frank Sinatra was the best version but Elton Nailed it!! Very nice and emotional haaays!

i cry with this song!!! :( is so beautiful!!!
