Couplet 1

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Couplet 2

Well I'm a grown-up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

Pré refrain

So here's my life-long wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

Refrain 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Refrain 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post-Refrain

This is
My grown-up Christmas list

Couplet 3

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Right beneath our tree

Couplet 4

But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurt and human soul

Refrain 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Refrain 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post-Refrain

This is
My grown-up Christmas list

Pont

What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth

Refrain 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Refrain 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post-Refrain

'Cause this is
My grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life-long wish
This our grow-up Christmas list
