River Lyrics

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 won't snow here
It'll stay pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And then 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

He tried hard to help me
No, he put me at ease
And he loved me so 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 upset
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

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 made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
He cutting down trees
He putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Away, away

All Love Can Be

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 won't snow here
It'll stay pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And then 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

He tried hard to help me
No, he put me at ease
And he loved me so 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 upset
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

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 made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
He cutting down trees
He putting up reindeer 
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Away, away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
