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 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 made my baby say goodbye
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 going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to 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
I got this CD and Pat Metheny's "ECM Recordings" and Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise" for my parents for Christmas...hope they enjoy it! : D
Marvelous. I immediately purchased this CD after hearing one song. Then, I listened to the other selections and my only regret is that I didn't order 20 more copies of this marvelous work.
i love this song. herbie hancock's piano is so tasteful and corrine bailey's voice is so perfect for the song. and all the instruments complement each other so nicely.
First time hearing this and I applaud the collaboration! Herbie is so fortunate to have the ability and capacity of adaptation through the cycles of musical genres since his days with Miles and that potent river of jazz influence that surrounded him.
@PlainTimb WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRASS AND OBSCENE? YOU COULD HAVE MERELY IGNORED THAT COMMENT FROM THE IGNORAMUS WHO JUDGED YOUR ABILITIES AND CALLED YOU OUT OF YOUR NAME. TRY TO BE THE BIGGER PERSON.

@TehWinnerz - he starts it at the beggining...Jingle Bells in two different keys when he first starts playing at 34 sec. Cool that you can hear that!

great song made even better by herbie hancocks elegant input but unfortunately murdered by overly kitch vocal delivery here

What nonsense you talk Quip. Corinne's measured delivery is sublime - she really adds a new depth of feeling to this classic song.
