Natalie Cole 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, 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
