Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasiesWell, I'm all grown-up now
And still need help somehow.
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dreamSo here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in needNo 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 listAs 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 soulNo 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 listWhat is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truthNo 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
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
