Grown Up Christmas List Lyrics

Grown-Up Christmas List - Amy Grant
Whew..this will go down in the record books as one of the hardest
songs ever to pick out! I tried to get it as close as possible
to the complex piano chords on the recording.
**Play with a capo on 4 to match album key**
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
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never e----nd
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
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(key change)
Last chorus:
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 e--nd oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
