Grown-Up Christmas List
By David Foster and

Sung By Amy Grant
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 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 surely 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
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
