I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
But still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my life long wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
But Heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
The hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
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 lifelong wish
This is 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 But still need help somehow I'm not a child But my heart still can dream So here's my life long wish My grown-up Christmas list Not for myself But for a world in need No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end Oh This is my grown-up Christmas list As children we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely Wrapped beneath our tree But Heaven surely knows That packages and bows Can never heal The hurting human soul No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end Oh This is my grown-up Christmas list What is this illusion called The innocence of youth Maybe only in our blind belief Can we ever find the truth No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart 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 lifelong wish This is my grown-up Christmas list Explain Request ×
