Grown-Up Christmas List sing and play along

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 grownup Christmas list,

not for myself, but for a world in need.

No more lives torn apart, and wars would never start,

and time would heal all hearts.

And ev'ryone would have a friend,

and right would always win, and love would never end.

This is my grownup Christmas list.

As children we believed the grandest sight to see was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree.

Well, heaven surely knows that packages and bows can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart, and wars would never start,

and time would heal all hearts.

And ev'ryone would have a friend,

and right would always win, and love would never end.

This is my grownup Christmas list.

As 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.

and wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts.

And ev'ryone would have a friend,

and right would always win, and love would never end,

oh, this is my grownup Christmas list.

This is my only lifelong wish.

This is my grownup Christmas list.
