加拿大製作人［大衛佛斯特］＋非裔歌姬［娜妲莉高］──成人流行聖誕抒情曲──［Grown-Up Christmas List／成年的聖誕名單］

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you

With childhood fantasies

Well, Im all grown up now

Can you still help somehow?

Im not a child

But my heart still can dream

So heres my lifelong wish

My grown-up Christmas list

Not for myself

But for our 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

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

Thered 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 wish

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list

１９９０年, ４１歲的加拿大著名製作人大衛佛斯特（David Foster）發行第五張大碟［River of Love／愛之河］

由他個人創作／製作／編曲

主打之一為［Grown-Up Christmas List／成年的聖誕名單］

由大衛與妻子Linda Thompson Jenne合寫, 佛斯特＆Humberto Gatica製作成一首成人流行風格的聖誕抒情曲, 佛斯特並負責鋼琴,鍵盤與貝斯。

非裔歌姬娜妲莉高（Natalie Cole）擔任主唱, 大衛合音。

此曲旋律優美, 在Jeremy Lubbock指揮的管弦樂聲與佛斯特的鋼琴聲中, 高以她清亮的嗓音溫柔演繹。

雖然發行單曲, 但［Grown-Up Christmas List／成年的聖誕名單］並沒成為熱門曲。

１９９２年, 美國基督流行樂女皇艾美葛蘭特（Amy Grant）推出聖誕大碟［Home for Christmas］, 翻唱此曲。

由於專輯在美國熱賣三百多萬張,反讓此版知名度較高。

１９９３年大衛佛斯特發行耶誕專輯［The Christmas Album］, 又收錄與娜妲莉高合作［Grown-Up Christmas List］。

１９９９年　娜妲莉推出聖誕大碟［The Magic of Christmas］(與倫敦愛樂交響樂團), 再度詮釋此曲。
