Grown-Up Christmas List
Do you remember meI sat upon your kneeI wrote to you with childhood fantasiesWell I'm all grown up nowBut still need help somehowI'm not a childBut my heart still can dreamSo here's my life long wishMy grown-up Christmas listNot for myselfBut for a world in needNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never start And time would heal the heartEveryone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endOhThis is my grown-up Christmas listAs children we believedThe grandest sight to seeWas something lovelyWrapped beneath our treeSongtexteBut Heaven surely knowsThat packages and bowsCan never healThe hurting human soulNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never start And time would heal the heartEveryone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endOhThis is my grown-up Christmas listWhat is this illusion calledThe innocence of youthMaybe only in our blind beliefCan we ever find the truthNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never start And time would heal the heartEveryone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never start And time would heal the heartEveryone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endOhThis is my grown-up Christmas listThis is my only lifelong wishThis is my grown-up Christmas list Aus Songtexte Mania
