Grown-Up Christmas List

Grown-Up Christmas List - Trijntje Oosterhuis

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 start 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 that blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start

And time would heal our hearts Every man would

Have a friend That 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
