It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here It stays pretty green Gonna make a lot of money Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene And I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so wide I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on 'cause I made my baby cry
You tried hard to help me And you put me at ease Then loved me so naughty Made me weak in my knees And wish I had a river That I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I lost the best baby That I ever had And I wish I had a river That I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so wide I could teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river That I could skate away on Cause I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace But I wish I had a river I could skate away on
God I wish I had a river so wide I'd teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye
