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 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 No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend That right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list As children we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely wrapped beneath a tree But heaven only knows That packages and bugs Could never heal a hurting human soul No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend That 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 Maybe only in that blind belief Could we ever find the truth No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend That right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list It's my only lifelong wish This is my grown-up Christmas list It's my grown-up Christmas list It's my grown-up Christmas list
