Waiting there by the side of the river Waiting there but she did not show Wringing his hands and shaking his head Checking his watch it's time to go They say the sky is the limit Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi Shootin' for the moon Crash landed in the Crescent City Shootin' for the moon Out here the truth is all you can see But there is a trick in the thick of it all The ghost in a fog is a thin line Between first light and last call They say the sky is the limit Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi Shootin' for the moon Crash landed in the Crescent City Shootin' for the moon Waiting there by the side of the river Get ready to cross to the other shore Standing there by the side of the river It never looked so wide before They say the sky is the limit Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi Shootin' for the moon Crash landed in the Crescent City They say the sky is the limit Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi Shootin' for the moon Crash landed in the Crescent City Shootin' for the moon
