River Songtext
von Barry Manilow

It′s coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They′re putting up reindeers
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's stays pretty green
I′m gonna make a lot of money
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
I wish I had river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry


Well, she tried hard to help me
To know she put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
It make 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'm gonna lost the best baby that I′ve 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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

Well, it's coming on christmas
They′re cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers
Singing songs of joy and peace
God, I wish I had river I could skate away
