Grown-Up Christmas List - Remastered 2007

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

No more lives torn apart,

Then wars would never start

and time would heal the heart

And 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 the tree

Well heaven surely knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart,

Then wars would never start

and time would heal the heart

And 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,

Then wars would never start

and time would heal the heart

And 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.
