River

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 gonna make a lot of money
I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, 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'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear the sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your dreams be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And may all your Christmases be white

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up a reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, 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
