River Lyrics by Darren Criss

A Very Darren Crissmas (Deluxe)

2021

[Verse 1]
It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
Singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Verse 2]
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
Gonna make lots of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Chorus]
I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I made my baby cry
[Verse 3]
She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Verse 4]
But I'm so hard to handle
I'm sеlfish and I'm sad
And I've gone and lost
The bеst baby I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
Puttin' up reindeer
Singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I wish I had a river, yeah
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Outro]
(Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas
(Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year
(Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh)
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh)
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh)
(Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year
(Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh)
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Wah-wah-wah-wah)
(Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas
(Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year
