Lyrics by Linda Thompson



Do you remember me



I sat upon your knee



I wrote to you



With childhood fantasies



Well, I'm all grown up now



Can you still 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



Every man would have a friend



That 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 their blind belief



Can we ever find the truth



There'd be no more lives torn apart



And wars would never start



And time would heal all hearts



Every man 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



Hoo---, hoo--
