River - Barry Manilow

It’s coming on Christmas

They’re cutting down trees

They’re 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

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 would teach my feet to fly

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

I made my baby cry I’m so hard to handle

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
