C G Am
Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
[Verse 1]
C/G G Am
Well, I'm all grown-up now
Am/C Em7 Am7
and still need help somehow?
F C/E Dm Gsus4 G
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
C G Am
So here's my lifelong wish
Em Cadd2
My grown-up Christmas list
C/E Dm7 Gsus4 G7
Not for myself but for a world in need
[Chorus]
C2 C Asus Am F
No more lives torn apart
D9 G7 Em7
That wars would never start
Am Am7/G Fsus2 C/G
And time would heal all hearts
C Am7 Am7/G F
and everyone would have a friend
D9 Gsus Em7
That right would always win
Em7 C#dim C7/F# Daug/F# Bm7
And love would nev-er end

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul
[Chorus]

No more lives torn apart

The innocence of youth?
