My Grown Up Christmas List — Manhattan Transfer

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
