River Lyrics

Alisan Porter River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry
Well, he tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
You know I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
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
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
