Radio Paradise (mobile)

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 don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
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, you know, 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
But I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
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
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, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

The first, best and only one based directly on the book. William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles. I have to see this movie every year about this time. Fantastic!!!!! Both of them.

martinc Dec 23, 2011 - 10:28	Here in Ottawa we have the Rideau River Canal that when it freezes over is maintained and creates a 20 km skating rink. However this year it has been to mild for that to happen. I wish I had a river I could skate away one. Thanks Joni [ Reply ]
coding_to_music Dec 21, 2011 - 17:45	Eleven Especially at this time of the year... Great book about Joni — Will You Take Me As I Am: Joni Mitchell's Blue Period [ Reply ]
Shesdifferent Dec 21, 2011 - 17:44	So right now for me.....I actually heard this in Walgreen's the other day [ Reply ]
Stratocaster Dec 06, 2011 - 08:23	Robert Downey Jr. did a surprisingly excellent cover of this song. No, really. Give it a listen, and even the most jaded among you might say "huh....that's pretty good." As a born Canadian, I have a soft spot for Joni Mitchell. [ Reply ]
