Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me?

I sat upon you're knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies



Well, I'm all grown up now

And still need help somehow

I'm not a child but my heart still can dream



So here's my life-long wish

My grown-up Christmas list

Not for myself, but for a world in need



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

and time would heal the heart



And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas List



As children we believed

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely, wrapped beneath the tree

Well, Heaven surely knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal the heart



And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas List



What is this illusion called

The innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief

Can we ever find the truth



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal the heart



And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas List

This is my only life-long wish

This is my grown-up Christmas List
