[00:22.37]They're cutting down trees.
[00:24.78]They're putting up reindeer
[00:27.14]And singing songs of joy and peace,
[00:29.88]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

[01:05.00]I would teach my feet to fly.
[01:11.00]
[01:14.06]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[01:21.64]I made my baby cry.

[01:42.60]he put me at ease.
[01:44.94]lord,he loved me so naughty,
[01:47.50]made me weak in the knees.

[02:07.05]That I've ever had.
[02:09.36]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[02:19.11]I wish I had a river so long,
[02:24.58]I would teach my feet to fly.
[02:32.20]
