Grown-Up Christmas List

Lyrics

Do you remember me?  
I sat upon your knee  
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies  
Well, I'm all grown-up now  
Can you still 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  
Every man 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 can we ever find the truth  
  
No more lives torn apart  
That wars would never start  
And time would heal our hearts  
Every man would have a friend  
That right would always win  
And love would never end  
  
This is my grown-up Christmas list  
This is my only lifelong wish  
This is my grown-up Christmas list
