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. |
