This song is a tribute to Audrey Hepburn and her aura that both follows and precedes her. The song celebrates her legendary eyes, her fashion, her acting and singing, and her elegance!
As the writer of the lyrics of this song, when I started writing it, I didn’t know how it was going to come out. I was just inspired by her elegance and gentleness. But as the song is now live, what I am pleasantly surprised is that I was able to come up with the line “memorize your eyes” which is exactly for her and about her.
This song also references famous moments, ideas, and lines from two of her works: Breakfast At Tiffany’s and My Fair Lady.
FULL SONG LYRICS
CHORUS 1
Breakfast at sunrise
While I memorize your eyes
Memorize your eyes.
VERSE 1
Let down your hair
Scarf drifting in the air
Moon River’s perfect pair
And no one can compare.
VERSE 2
You hat brim wants to hide
A loneliness inside
Otherworldly eyes
I fantasize
CHORUS 2
I could have danced all night
And twirled in flight
To breakfast at sunrise
And memorized your eyes
…memorized your eyes
VERSE 3
You float into a room
And it begins to bloom
The swirling satin dress
You are gentleness.
VERSE 4
No one really knows
Where the Moon river flows
Cross oceans and soon
Fall in love(pause) over the moon
CHORUS
I could have danced all night
And twirled in flight
To breakfast at sunrise
And memorized your eyes
…memorized your eyes
BRIDGE
Oh That moon river rhyme
Farries us to elegance – sometimes – sometimes
Elegance will save our age
Even when we lose the compass gauge
VERSE 5
Thanks for the memories
Of almost you and me
Still something in me longs
When I hear your songs
CHORUS
I could have danced all night
And twirled in flight
To breakfast at sunrise
And memorized your eyes
Memorized your eyes
