Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasiesWell, I'm all grown-up now
Can you still 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
Every man would have a friend
That 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
Every man would have a friend
That 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
