Grown-up Christmas List (feat. Darlene Love)

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm a 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

It's my grown-up Christmas list

Not for myself but for the world in need

No more lives torn apart that wars will never stop

And time will heal our hearts

And everyone will have a friend

And right would always win and love will never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list

As children, we believe the grandest site to see

Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree

But heaven only knows the packages and rose

Can never hear a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart that wars will never stop

And time will heal our hearts

And everyone would have a friend (would have a friend)

And right would always win and love would never end (never, never)

This is my grown-up Christmas list

What is this illusion called?

The innocence of youth

And the only end I'll probably live

Can we ever find the truth?

Oh, no more lives torn apart (torn apart) that wars will never stop (will never stop)

And time would heal our hearts

And everyone would have a friend (will have a friend)

And right would always win (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

My wish for all the world

My only lifelong wish

For everyone to have a friend

Peace on earth, goodwill towards me

Love would win, war would end

Everyone would have a friend

No more lives torn apart, time will heal all broken hearts

No more lives torn apart, time will heal all broken hearts

No more lives torn apart, time will heal all broken hearts

No more lives
