Christmas Song: Grown-Up Christmas List
A favorite Christmas song of mine that has been covered countless times is David Foster's Grown-Up Christmas List.
The music and lyrics are brilliant and so beautifully echo my own desires at Christmas and all year.
I thought I'd share a lovely, little-known rendition I discovered some years ago.
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 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 believe The grandest sight to see Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree
But 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
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 This is my only lifelong wish This is my grown up Christmas list
