Mr. & Mrs. Bonhart, Moon River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was carrying a grief I thought would never mend Convinced my heart had reached its end Then one day at Reagan, moving through the line You turned, I smiled, and I caught your eyes in mine You were humming something gentle, soft and low I kept on walking, didn't know what love was about to show [Chorus] You are my moon river, my steady tide The one who found me when I tried to hide Through every city, every shore, my dear heart Spike, you turned my sorrow into home [Verse 2] Fifteen minutes later you came searching through the crowd Found me in a quiet corner, spoke my name out loud You shared your love for homemade dressing and a song A Spinner on that stage, but with me is where you'd belong We talked for months before Detroit brought us face to face That's when love took hold and nothing could erase [Chorus] You are my moon river, my steady tide The one who found me when I tried to hide Through every city, every shore we've known Spike, you turned my heartbreak into home [Bridge] November thirteenth, your birthday night You said elope with me, make everything right I laughed and said you can't unwrap a human gift You said that's all I want, Kimberly, say yes to this [Verse 3] We crossed the border, picked out rings in Detroit town Drove to Canada and let that courthouse write it down Called our families with the sweetest news to say Harold Deleon Bonhart and Kimberly eloped today From the Four Tops stage into my waiting arms You sang me "Special" with your heaven-sent charm You held my grief and gave me grace Spike, I found forever in your face [Chorus] You are my moon river, my steady tide The one who found me when I tried to hide Through every city, every shore, my dear heart Spike, you turned my sorrow into love, forever yours [Outro] So drift with me where the river bends My moon river love never ends Becoming Mrs. Bonhart, I'll never dread All my love, from your Apple Head
