I wish I had a river

This is officially my Christmas and New Year's tune this year. You know that I like it so much. When I found it, I straight away send the link to your inbox. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

It's coming on christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're 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
You know, It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I'd teach my feet to fly
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye

She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
And she loved me all naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had
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
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye
I made her say goodbye
