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, that 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 the tree

But heaven only 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 all hearts

And everyone would have a friend and right would always win

And love would never end, oh, no

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, oh

No more lives torn apart, that 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, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas list, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas list
