Grown-Up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your 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 lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas List
Not for myself, but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
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,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
And 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 only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
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 lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas List.
I sat upon your 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 lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas List
Not for myself, but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
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,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
And 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 only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart,
Then wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
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 lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas List.
