CLAY AIKEN - My Grown-Up Christmas List lyrics

rate me

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well I'm all grown up now

I still need help somehow

I'm not a child

But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong 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

That wveryone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believe

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely

Wrapped beneath the tree

But heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul

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

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

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

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown up Christmas list
