Janet Devlin - River Lyrics
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
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
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
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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
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

Janet, when you sing, I go to a place where I want to be.
You hit that tear jerking emotionally touching moment as soon as that beautiful fly came out
Janet how did I not know you had done this? Literally my favourite happysad song, sung by my favourite happysad voice. I might have survived Christmas with my mind intact if I had found this in december!

Amazing vocals ... very unusual!

Janet Devlin This is the perfect time of the year for this song...
Janet Devlin Could you do a cover of any Sarah Mclachlan song...maybe "Adia"?
Wow! This is SO beautiful!!! Please please please do more Joni Mitchell, your voice is perfect for her songs!!!!!!!!
👀👂 💖 i happen to have a river 😅
Hi Janet, your voice needs no accompaniment and is a finely tuned instrument all on its own in the crowded music strathosphere and has a healing balm to ease troubled souls. Thank you and greetings and best wishes from a Corkman living in Australia.
I can count on liking what she does just like I know the Sun come up every day! A+

This is so amazing and your beautiful voice made it even better thank you for making my day better with your songs❤️💛💚💙💜
please sing--nothing compares to u by prince and--at last by etta james
This was so beautifully done. since seeing your knees knocking on your audition to today, I see great improvements and that wonderful celtic tone in your voice I love so much!
Impossible not to fall in love, Janet!
The voice makes the music vibrate inside.
The image enchants the eyes with delicate movements and
Radiant warmth.
Silences arise around you and you and your occupy spaces.
I feel grateful, loved, cherished by his look, his voice ...
How not to want it to expand as much as charm? !!!
Janet, shine ... shine brightly ... that the warmth of your voice will lead all
What makes me feel ... a very lucky being!
Thankful for that!
Thank you so much for your kind words Claudio! I really will cherish them! ✨❤️
His arrangements and his voice and interpretation make the songs vibrate in such a way that it is impossible to hear only once. I remember the delicacy of his feet in the water in a post and the delicious and contagious laughter. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such moments. You are an incredible person ... delicate as a dandelion and a tremendous force behind those eyes.
I could listen to you sing the word fly all day! lol
it's not Christmas I know but I love this song anytime of the year. You do a fantastic job of it.
Love your voice! Amazing song by an amazing singer! Love ya! :)
Beautiful. ❤
I have this song done by another artist Alisan Porter (winner of the voice,n star of movie Curly Sue) I prefer this one.
Beautiful
I Only need 3 letters to convey my feelings for Janet and her voice. wow
I'd love to hear Joni's reaction to your cover, I think she'd be very pleased.
Ahh Janet, this song has been covered to hell and back, some of them very, very nice. I always come back to yours though, it's nothing short of brilliant—seriously moves me.
Wow. 😊
Angelic, absolutely angelic!!! Still would love to hear you sing Linger from the Cranberries.
enter the UK Voice u are amazing
Exquisite. Interpreting Joni even better than she did..and I heard heard her in concert and on records which wore out.
Thank you, Janet, that is a lovely interpretation of one of my favourites. I love the piano on these covers. This one is particularly good.
Wow! I love Joni's version but I luv this much more :)
Angles have red hair.
fair play Janet, beautiful effort/song
Very Beautiful !!
Your voice is the true meaning of amazing. Any chance of getting you to do a cover of Roadside by Rise against.
I loved it Janet. You are a true talent. Please look after it and thank you.
Thanks for watching Charlie!
Love your interpretation of Joni Micheal's river. Joni is my favorite musical artist and writer. You should find more of her songs to do. Her list to choose from is nearly endless. I am sure she would be proud of the Janet Devlin interpretations.
Thank you so much! 💕💕💕
I think Joni Mitchell's "Amelia" would be perfect for your voice. Just sayin'....
this is so beautiful, Janet, love your art.
Wonderful job. If you do request. What about Wish you were here by Pink Floyd. I love every song I have heard from you. You are a great musician. Thanks for the beautiful music...
great voice, love the song
Thank you! 💕
love the way Jnet can turrn it off and on...beutiful vocalisst..
Jingle Bells
To sing music,creates a bright spot to stride for.
76,is that to late to start performing?
I don't even know what to say anymore...I love every song you sing! Your voice is so pretty😊
When ever I am down I listen to this song Janet it's a beautiful cover ❤❤
You got such amazing voice, i don't know how to describe it but its way more than beautiful. Do you have an album out that we can buy maybe?
Janet has an album out called Running with Scissors and a few EPs. She's also got a new album out in
2017.
River is on Janet's December Daze EP which is available on her store.

I think I might have bruised my replay button.
This is amazing!
My fave Christmas track, great job. Can you cover 'Single Bed' by Fox next... please?
she really needs to be bigger..ugh. how have some people not heard of her? ..I'm so frustrated..everyone needs janet devlin in their life🤗
Very nice :-)
disney needs to hire you.
Until I heard this, Sarah McLachlan's cover was my all time favorite cover. River has never been sung like this before! Thank you, Janet!
Thinking exactly the same thing.
1 take is all you need when your voice is immaculate, I've lost count on how many times I've watched this video.
quel belle chanson
You're voice is beautiful, keep up the singing. 👍🎤🎵🎶🎙🎧
Extraordinary!!! Goose bumps head to toe!
December Daze is a fantastic album, you all need it in your life. Loving your work beautiful woman
JD Love some of your covers that are 1000% better than the original..
Oh you are awesome! Your rendition of this is song is so perfect...I can't even put it into words
just stumbled upon you a couple of days ago. Watched your X Factor audtions, I loved your voice by the beginning and how you did not want to change your personality for fame. Looked you up on the internet and saw you had an album! I love them all! AMAZING SONGS AND VOICE YOU'VE GOT!
Amazing Janet!!!! your voice is wonderful!! from Brazil, with love! kisses (beijos)
your voice is angelic it truly is. Your voice would sound perfect on Queens too much love will kill you track! x
You definitely have a unique voice. The way your voice seems to crack in those upper notes is very lovely..With this song you seem to just sing it and not really feel it in my opinion..I have been a singer all my life. I know you did this in one take, but re-listen to it and you may see what I am saying..keep up the great work you definitely are going places.
You're actually such an amazing singer and I'm so glad that you do what you do cause I always look forward to your music aha <3 x
I missed your voice sooooooo much
My kids would love a personal concert from Janet, C'mon National Lottery, give me a win! Great vocal, love the regular content, good luck Janet :)
you can alway attend one of her stageit shows first :) or goto a gig!
Just like they said in 2011, "Don't change a thing!!!!!"
just came across this thought I was in heaven 😇
There has been, there always will be voices...but just once in a while there is one to remember. Amazing...
Aw this is beautiful :)
WOW, you made me cry so much, you have a beautiful voice! almost every cover song has been better that the original, I wonder what you could do with some Michael Jackson?
As a huge Joni fan, I must say 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Lovely.
Love the voice, love the hair! :D And I wish you all the best from Bosnia and Herzegovina. <3
