My Grown Up Christmas List

Last year I posted my "In-Your-Dreams" Christmas list.  The kind where I post a bunch of stuff I would love to have but just know that I won't get because it's too expensive...   I was thinking about doing that again (and I just may).  But for today, since it's officially "after Thanksgiving", I want to post my Grown Up Christmas List.  I sang this song in high school and always loved the message it sent.  Plus, everyone can use a little Michael Buble in their life...



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

  1. I absolutely adore this song, although I have the Amy Grant version. This song is simply amazing. :)
