Grown‐Up Christmas List Songtext
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I′m a grown-up now
And 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 all hearts
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, hey-yeah
But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul, oh
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts, yeah
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
Ooh, yeah
Ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts (that would heal every heart)
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
'Cause this is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life-long wish
This our grow-up Christmas list
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I′m a grown-up now
And 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 all hearts
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, hey-yeah
But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul, oh
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts, yeah
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
Ooh, yeah
Ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts (that would heal every heart)
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
'Cause this is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life-long wish
This our grow-up Christmas list
