My 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

I still need help somehow

Not for myself but for a world, a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend

And right would always win

Love would never, ever, ever end

This is my grown-up Christmas list (My Christmas list)

As children we believe

The grandest sight we'd see

Was something pretty

Wrapped beneath the tree

And heaven only knows

Packages and bows

Could never, ever, ever heal a human soul

No more lives torn apart

And wars would never start

And time would heal, heal all broken hearts

Every, 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

And maybe in our blind belief we can only find the truth

No more lives torn apart

And wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every, everyone would have a friend

And love would never end

And right would always win

This is my grown-up Christmas list

Yeah, this is my lifelong wish (this is my grown-up Christmas list)

This is my grown-up Christmas list (This is my grown-up Christmas list)

Wish I may, ah, my, my, my, my, my, grown-up Christmas list

I wish I ...
