My Grown-Up Christmas List – Clay AikenBy Do you remember meI sat upon your kneeI wrote to youWith childhood fantasiesWell, I’m all grown up nowAnd still need help somehowI’m not a childBut my heart still can dreamSo here’s my lifelong wishMy grown-up Christmas listNot for myselfBut for a world in needNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsThat everyone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endThis is my grown-up Christmas listAs children we believedThe grandest sight to seeWas something lovelyWrapped beneath a treeWell heaven only knowsThat packages and bowsCan never help to healA wounded soulNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsThat everyone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endThis is my grown-up Christmas listWhat is this illusion called the innocence of youthMaybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truthNo more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsEveryone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never endThis is my grown-up Christmas listAnd this is my only life long wishThis is my grown-up Christmas list www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
