Grown-Up Christmas List

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] What is this illusion called the innocence of youth? Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth, oh [Chorus] 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 [Outro] This is my grown-up Christmas list, oh This is my grown-up Christmas list
