"River"
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,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And 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,
he put me at ease.
lord,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've 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
And singing songs of joy and peace,
I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
-Joni Mitchell, 1970

"Winter Song"
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea
My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
to carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
They say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so I have been told.
They say were buried far,
just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
and life will find a way.
Ill be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

Someday At Christmas

"Someday at Christmas"
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, just one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime

"Merry Christmas Baby"
Merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice
Bought me diamond rings for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise
Be at my side
I got music on my radio
Feel my vibe
I got music on my radio
I feel like I'm going to kiss you underneath the Mistletoe
Santa's coming down the chimney, half past three
All those pretty presents for my baby and for me
Merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice
Treat me so nice
Bought me pretty presents
I feel like I'm in paradise
Merry Christmas girl
Merry Chrismas baby
Merry Chrismas baby
Sure did treat me nice
You know you do
Merry Christmas baby

I got a lot of pretty presents
I feel like I'm in paradise
Merry Christmas baby
Merry Christmas baby
I feel like I'm in paradise
In paradise

"What Christmas Means To Me"
Candles burning
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choir singing carols
Right outside my door
[CHORUS]
All these things and more
That's what Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
I see your smiling face
Like I've never seen before
Though I love you madly
It seems I love you more
The little though you give me
Will touch my heart for sure
[CHORUS]
I feel like running wild
Those angels a little shy
I caught you underneath the mistletoe
I kiss you twice and then some more
I wish you merry Christmas baby
And a happy new year
Let's deck the halls with holly
Singing Silent Night
Fill the dreams with angels' hair
Pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight
[CHORUS]
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love
Christmas means to me my love...

"Calling To Say"
I wasn't sure if I should call,
Even though we're family and all.
It seems strange to let it past,
I just thought I'd call and ask,
Are you having fun?
Are you seeing anyone..
Yeah, I've been busy too,
I hope I'm not keeping you.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
Hey, I'm glad this number's good,
I wasn't sure just where we stood.
It's good to know that we're still friends,
Nothings changed much on my end.
Yeah I'm doing fine, you just came to mind.
I guess it's the time of year.
It's strange that you're not here.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
Yeah, we all went out last night,
Driving around to see the lights.
Just like we always do,
Everyone there but you.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
Yeah, I'm having fun.
I've been seeing someone.
Okay that's a little lie,
There's been no other guy.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.
I'm just calling to say,
Merry christmas, merry merry Christmas baby.

"I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus"
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And I know just why because
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull, to see if it's real
I'm gonna tick, tick, tickle him on the tummy
Because he laughs so funny
He's so jolly and so fine
When he comes around on Christmas time
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And the reason is because
I know a boy and girl he never goes see
He never brings 'em toys like he does for me
I'm gonna pop, pop Santa Claus
With my water pistol gun
And then I'll take his bags of toys and run
And bring to all the kids who don't have none
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And I know just why because
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull, to see if it's real

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee
And I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now, still need help somehow
Not for myself but for a world, a world in need
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And every man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never ever, ever end
This is my grown up Christmas list
My Christmas list
As children we believe
The grandest sight we'd see
Was something pretty
Wrapped beneath the tree
And heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Could never, ever, ever heal
A human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal, heal
All broken hearts
Every, everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion
Called the innocence of youth
Maybe in our blind belief
We can only find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
Time, time would heal
All broken hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
