Music by David Foster
Lyrics by Linda Thompson
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 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
Every man would have a friend
That 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 their blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
There'd be no more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Hoo---, hoo--

Wow! This is a beautiful song with a important sentiment! Always did dig Natalie.
Hey, wouldn't it be mad cool if we could give some SELF love on Xmas? *ponder that for a moment*
Even when we love & are loving to family, friends & intimates, many times we don't embrace ourselves in a REAL way? I'm not referring to gifts or material things we might do for ourselves in an attempt at fast-food happiness. I mean in a seriously, non-vain, but self-affirming REAL way. We don't take stock & appreciate the beauty of our positive aspects, our hearts, our ways of caring, of showing love, etc.
How many times have you (or the collective WE) ever said: I LOVE MYSELF TODAY. And MEANT it! Not the way I look, or dress, or if it's a good hair day... but a general feeling of self-contained well-being.
Instead, just one week after Xmas, we start the year by naming all these things that are WRONG with us, & we promise (& usually fail) to correct them in a resolution.
That's really something to ponder.
Sorry to wax on & on... this post & your new attitude just got a Brotha thinking.
Snatch JOY!
