My 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
I still need help somehow
Not for myself but for a world, a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
And right would always win
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
Packages and bows
Could never, ever, ever heal a human soul
No more lives torn apart
And 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
And maybe in our blind belief we can only find the truth
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every, everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Yeah, this is my lifelong wish (this is my grown-up Christmas list)
This is my grown-up Christmas list (This is my grown-up Christmas list)
Wish I may, ah, my, my, my, my, my, grown-up Christmas list
I wish I ...
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
I still need help somehow
Not for myself but for a world, a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
And right would always win
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
Packages and bows
Could never, ever, ever heal a human soul
No more lives torn apart
And 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
And maybe in our blind belief we can only find the truth
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every, everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Yeah, this is my lifelong wish (this is my grown-up Christmas list)
This is my grown-up Christmas list (This is my grown-up Christmas list)
Wish I may, ah, my, my, my, my, my, grown-up Christmas list
I wish I ...
