The Manhattan Transfer - My 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 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 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 only 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 (there'd be) 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
