Christmas Music
I recently received one of those "Everything About Me - Christmas Edition" e-mails. You know, the one you answer all the questions with your favorite of things. I couldn't fill it out. Favorite memory? You're kidding me, right? How could I possibly choose one (or two)?
And favorite Christmas song? Well, I am a Christmas music lover. I listen to all kinds - sometimes throughout the year. So choosing a few to call my favorites would be impossible. But I thought I would share the lyrics to one that always touches my heart. The version I have is sung by Natalie Cole and is beautiful.
"My Grown Up Christmas List"
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
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 end
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 only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
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 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
(there'd be)
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 end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list
May the Prince of Peace invade your day.
