[00:01.48]My Grown Up Christmas List [00:05.35]Kelly Clarkson [00:06.66]Platinum Christmas II [00:08.14] [00:14.51]Do you remember me? [00:19.19]I sat upon your knee; [00:22.89]I wrote to you [00:25.15]With childhood fantasies. [00:30.36]Well, I'm all grown-up now, [00:34.80]And still need help somehow. [00:38.62]I'm not a child, [00:41.03]But my heart still can dream. [00:46.35]So here's my lifelong wish, [00:50.98]My grown-up Christmas list. [00:54.54]Not for myself, [00:56.64]But for a world in need. [01:03.42]No more lives torn apart, [01:09.15]That wars would never start, [01:13.04]And time would heal all hearts. [01:19.36]And everyone would have a friend, [01:25.79]And right would always win, [01:28.58]And love would never end. [01:34.01]This is my grown-up Christmas list. [01:49.67]As children we believed [01:54.28]The grandest sight to see [01:58.31]Was something lovely [02:00.48]Wrapped beneath our tree. [02:06.11]Well Heaven surely knows [02:09.97]That packages and bows [02:13.87]Can never heal [02:15.74]A hurting human soul. [02:21.50]No more lives torn apart, [02:27.76]That wars would never start, [02:31.51]And time would heal all hearts. [02:36.89]And everyone would have a friend, [02:42.84]And right would always win, [02:46.48]And love would never end. [02:53.16]This is my grown-up Christmas list. [03:01.37]What is this illusion called the innocence of youth? [03:08.76]Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth. [03:30.99]No more lives torn apart, [03:38.22]That wars would never start, [03:42.52]And time would heal all hearts. [03:48.65]And everyone would have a friend, [03:53.84]And right would always win, [03:57.05]And love would never end, oh. [04:03.44]This is my grown-up Christmas list. [04:11.48]This is my grown-up Christmas list. [04:18.24]
