B.J. Thomas - Grown-Up Christmas List lyrics

Do you remember me I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with childhood fantasies Well I'm all grown up now But still need help somehow I'm not a child But my heart still can dream So here's my life long 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 the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end Oh This is my grown-up Christmas list As children we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely Wrapped beneath our tree But Heaven surely knows That packages and bows Can never heal The hurting human soul No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end Oh 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 the heart Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal the heart 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 only lifelong wish This is my grown-up Christmas list
