Píseň: My Grown-Up Christmas List

This Christmas, Aretha

And I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

And time would heal, heal

And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
Time, time would heal
All broken hearts


Everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win

My grown up Christmas list
I wish I found a [Incomprehensible]
