Grown-Up Christmas List Lyrics

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 the illusion called "The innocence of youth"?
Maybe only in that 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
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
