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
