Grown-Up Christmas List - Remastered 2007

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
For 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
And 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

As children, we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree
Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
And 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
And 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
