 Do you  remember me?
 I sat  upon  your knee
 I wrote to you  with childhood  fantasies
 Well, I'm  all grown-up now
 Can you  still help  somehow?
 I'm not a child,  but my heart  still can  dream
 So here's  my life  long wish
 My grown-up Christmas list
 Not for myself,  but  for the world in  need
No  more lives  torn apart
 and wars  would never start
 And time  will heal  all hearts
Every man  would have a friend
 that right  would always win
  -5 -9
 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
 and wars  would never start
 And time  would heal  all hearts
Every man  would have a friend
 that right  would always win
  -5 -9
 And love would never end
This  is my grown-up  Christmas list
  -5
 This is my only lifelong wish
 This is my grown-up  Christmas list
