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
