Do you remember me?

I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

My grown-up Christmas list
G/B Am7 Dsus4 D7
Not for myself but for a world in need
[Chorus]
G2 G Esus Em C
No more lives torn apart
A9 D7 Bm7
That wars would never start
Em Em7/D Csus2 G/D
And time would heal all hearts
G Em7 Em7/D C
and everyone would have a friend
A9 Dsus Bm7
That right would always win
Em7 C#dim C7/F# Daug/F# Bm7
And love would nev-er end

Can never heal a hurting human soul
