Grownup Christmas List

Grownup Christmas List - B.J. Thomas

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
