(David Foster & Linda Thompson Jenner)

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


[Chorus:]
No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
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 surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul


[Chorus]


What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief

Can we ever find the truth

[Chorus]
