Carter's makes his own version of 'My Grown up Christmas list' as he writes a letter to Newkirk years after the war.
Here's the actual song: watch?v=Tl_tTqzsDDU
Dear Newkirk,
Do you remember me?
It was just meant to be
I spoke to you about childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now and still naive 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
wars would never start
time would heal all hearts
everyone would have a friend
right would always win
love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
As a child I believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath a tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a heart ached human soul
No more lives torn apart
wars would never start
time would heal all hearts
everyone would have a friend
right would always win
love would never end, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
Why all this confusion
About the false and the truth?
I pray someday day folks won't be as care-free
As I was in my youth
No more lives torn apart
wars would never start
time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
right would always win
love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
Your friend,
Carter
When I heard this song I could picture Carter singing it. I hope could you too.
