This is my grownup christmas list.

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

Well, I'm all 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
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 wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

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

Well 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
And 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
(there'd be)

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list

This is my grown up christmas list


Do you remember me,
Back in time to the days of childhood
I dont even know how you could
The days of just you and me
Father and daughter, in front of the fire place
Dreaming of days in space
The stars and the moon,
The sun and the clouds.
Crying so loud and yet no one would hear
Yet noone would see the rain turned into tear
I still remember this
The days of love and bliss
Remember dreaming of you coming home
When no little girl would be alone
Waking up to a big bear hug
Cuddling up so nice and snug
A tale as old as time,
Father and daughter, happily ever after.
Happily every after.
What a story, what a tale
Too much of a lie for a small girl so frail.
