No it doesn't not even close both Natalie Cole's version and Kelly's are as close to this song as you can get plus it has that 90's to 2000s feel to it .
Kelly's version is fine but Charice's version with David Foster is more heartfelt and haunting. th-cam.com/video/Cn2_K_ym2Lo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HEP61gCykwaJhxjG

My Christmas gift for All in this World for 2023 is for Peace on earth. Also, tell someone you care and treat each other with compassion and kindness ✨️
I've heard this melody many many times over many years and I can't help listening to it again. It always brings tears to my eyes for many personal and life long experience reasons. Once again, thank you Kelly for such a beautiful song, so very appropriate in today's world.
Wow, if this song by Kelly doesn't bring tears to your eyes, I don't know what will. Thank you Kelly Clarkson for such a beautiful melody, especially so appropriate in this country and world today !

Coming upon Christmas 2024. Oh do we need this song now. Such division and wars raging..... we need this grownup Christmas wish come true. Merry Christmas everyone.
There are many tragedies that happened in 2020. , so many bad memories. But christmas gives us hope to become one again. merry christmas everyone. Greeting from philippines
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 reff 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, no This is my grown up Christmas list... bait As children we believe The grandest sight to see Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree But Heaven only knows That packages and bows Can never heal a heartached human soul reff 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, no This is my grown up Christmas list bridge What is this illusion called the innocence of youth Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth 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, no This is my grown up Christmas list This is my only lifelong wish This is my grown up Christmas list
We really need this song this year in 2020. So many lives have been torn apart this year and we as world need to heal the body and soul this Christmas. 😢🙏
th-cam.com/video/iOic7t1kZog/w-d-xo.html The original ( link above ), is, in my opinion, still the best version. Natalie Cole with a young David Foster at the piano. Younger fans of this song may think Amy’s version was first. It was not.
is it me or when you listen to this song it gives you the same feeling of when it’s christmas night and christmas is about to end and you get sad and you think dang.. christmas is basically over

I wish the same too,but in my case it's not,just caught my husband of 22 yrs with another woman.I am so heartbroken and I'm dying inside..I hope my heart will.heal.soon..Have a Merry Christmas Everyone God Bless you All.
This was released on an American Idol Christmas cd back in 2003, along with her amazing version of O Holy Night. I bought it just for these songs. Wish it was on any Spotify
"everyone would have a friend" Every time I hear that, I think about how I go through a lot of pain and stress, and, other than my family, I don't have anyone to turn to. :(
“Be it Kelly Clarkson or Amy Grant both have beautiful voices, yet it doesn’t mater who of the two sings this song the best. What matters are the words and the lyricist who wrote them, after all two beautiful voices emerge out of the lyrics and music given them for us to enjoy.”
In 2010, a girl named Charice sang this song a lot better than the two. More heartfelt and haunting. th-cam.com/video/Cn2_K_ym2Lo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HEP61gCykwaJhxjG
I agree. Unfortunately Amy just does not have Kelly's vocal talent. Kelly takes this song to a whole other level. I was actually bored listening to the Amy Grant version.

I hope and pray the gifted singers, like Kelly, are blessed with the beauty and blessings many of the rest of us take for granted. Merry Christmas to anyone reading this note. I hope and pray you/we all have a much better 2021 then what we've dealt with this past year.
I heard this on the radio yesterday and was so bummed they don’t have it on Spotify. I love the Amy grant version but I enjoy this one alot and especially how the song is mixed too.
Happy New Year!! In 2 Corinthians 5:7 God says that if we are in Him, we should put away our old behaviors and accept the new life that Christ gives. As we enter into this new year, may we seek God and allow Him to transform us. God bless 🫶
couldnt find the right version of this song- the version i used to hear on the radio as a kid- on apple music. the pentatonix one had the right vocals, but the wrong music background, and the original wasn't what I was used to hearing and I realized it just wasnt on there. huge bummer
I'm so happy my neighbors love this. It's my favorite Christmas 🎄 song. I tear up . Every time I hear it. It's My grown up Christmas list. For sure ❤. Merry Christmas to all Tamara. Naples? Florida
12/16/19: Words FAIL me, to describe how touched I am by.........this!! Then finding out that the phenomenal David Foster composed it? No wonder........it's.........SUPERB!! He was the Maestro of the Soundtracks of the '80s!! Glad this one didn't make me cry like her other Christmas Song.
The thing is David Foster wrote this song for Amy Grant unless David Foster didn’t want this on Spotify I’m not sure I think the only version u will get is Amy Grant’s version on Spotify
This isn’t just a Christmas song. It’s an every day of every month song. We all need more empathy.
I agree with you, this is all a year rounds wish. If this happens, we would have a wonderful world to live in😊
Cheers! 🥂
Love, love,love ♥️👆♥️🕊🙏🏼🙏🏼👩🏻🦳👴🏻💝🙏🏼Christmas wishes everyday 🌹💋♥️💝🙏🏼
Amen my Friend.
im listening to it right now in July
There is no song that Kelly can’t sing in perfect pitch. She’s a national treasure.
Maybe greatest female artist of all time ... thank GOD for American idol.

Merry Christmas!
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
reff
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, no
This is my grown up Christmas list...
bait
As children we believe
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree
But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a heartached human soul
reff
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, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
bridge
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
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, no
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
Who else came here because this isn’t on Spotify?

Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Praise the Lord
Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God.
Robert Ota there is a song called Reason For The Season it’s done by Mike Love (Beach Boys) it has the melody of Shortnin Bread
I might hurt myself
Welp to be more historically accurate it was co-opted by Christians. It's in freak winter.
I really enjoy Kelly's version of this 80's song.
It was originally released in 1990 by David foster with natalie cole on vocals,
Except it was 1990
This should be the number one Christmas top 40 song.
This song makes me cry when I hear it.
This song is so beautifully sung by Kelly. It brings tears to my eye
soooo underrated this gets me emotional EVERY listen
EVERY!!!!!!!
Pure perfection !!! Kelly is the best !!!
The orchestra really makes this song.
This SONG makes me WEAP every holiday season 🎄🥺😭🥲
Charice's version of this song with David Foster brings me to tears, too
th-cam.com/video/Cn2_K_ym2Lo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HEP61gCykwaJhxjG
this is the best version to me
To me too!
We really need this song this year in 2020. So many lives have been torn apart this year and we as world need to heal the body and soul this Christmas. 😢🙏
Oh, my goodness, you are so right, Valerieann... The world could really use some peace, love, hope, and cooperation about now...

The original ( link above ), is, in my opinion, still the best version. Natalie Cole with a young David Foster at the piano. Younger fans of this song may think Amy’s version was first. It was not.
Merry Christmas everyone
It’s December 2021 and I just discovered this song yesterday. I just bawled.
I just discovered this today. What a lovely Christmas song! And it’s so relevant today.
I just discovered this beautiful song yesterday
Best version...even better than the original Amy Grant version....and I love Amy Grant....but KC knocked it out of the park!!
Beautiful song and kelly Clarkson is truly a amazing vocalist
She is "The Voice"
I am here Christmas 2024 a sad year. I love Kelly ❤️
Definitely all year song 🎄☃️❄️☃️⛄️🎁🎄🎅🧙♀️🤶
I fell in love with this song when a former pastors wife sang this in church years ago
Gives me chills. She sings sooooooo good! Her tone is perfect. ♪ ♫
is it me or when you listen to this song it gives you the same feeling of when it’s christmas night and christmas is about to end and you get sad and you think dang.. christmas is basically over
What a beautiful song a world like that would really give me such joy.May one day this dream come true🙏💕🙏
This has got to be the best Christmas song ever sung!
My favorite Christmas song. I love Kelly's version but Amy Grant's is a classic. Love them both!
Just heard some of their music it was great

Be encouraged, you are precious and you are loved. We are all brothers and sisters. God bless you.
Kelly is the best. This song brings tears to my eyes and it takes a lot to do that. Merry Christmas everyone 2020!!!
Why does this song always makes me cry 😢 just imagine if he granted are grown up Christmas list ❤
Great song.

“Be it Kelly Clarkson or Amy Grant both have beautiful voices, yet it doesn’t mater who of the two sings this song the best. What matters are the words and the lyricist who wrote them, after all two beautiful voices emerge out of the lyrics and music given them for us to enjoy.”
But Kelly still sings it better.
Truth! I think both ladies sing this song beautifully! It's really about the lyrics... and how the song itself makes people feel...
Too bad Amy Grant didn’t collaborate with Kelly Clarkson on this song hopefully sometime in the future that will happen
In 2010, a girl named Charice sang this song a lot better than the two. More heartfelt and haunting.

I’m Muslim and this is a beautiful song
Music has no religion, anyone can enjoy it
Kelly has a "Beautiful" Voice !!!
This version is stunning
This is - the BEST version of this song !!! It is always will be a CLASSIC - Sorry Amy - Brings tears to my eyes !!!!!
I agree. Unfortunately Amy just does not have Kelly's vocal talent. Kelly takes this song to a whole other level. I was actually bored listening to the Amy Grant version.
Kelly is so amazing..she followed her dreams an has been rewarded..she is amazing..

Amazing song ! 2025 is going to be a great year !! ❤

So loved this song. For so long I've been looking for the title of this song now I've found it.
I adore Kelly❤️ She is blessed with a beautiful voice!
Listening to this feels like opening a gift every time! 💝
My mom said this was her favorite christmas song, now i know why. She misses being a kid, makes me sad man
The strings at the end get me every time I listen to this song 😢
I woke up to this song and I was feeling so happy for Christmas!!! God bless you guys
I know its November 11 in 2020 but we need it early this year. Have a wonderful day🌿
couldnt find the right version of this song- the version i used to hear on the radio as a kid- on apple music.
the pentatonix one had the right vocals, but the wrong music background, and the original wasn't what I was used to hearing and I realized it just wasnt on there. huge bummer
Who else in 2024??❤🎄
🫢 my goodness this song is absolutely breathtaking❤
The meaning is very beautiful... Sounds like my Xmas list.
This is so beautiful
Damn this song always gets me emotional!!!!!! 😭 😭 😭
A complete perfect singer
I'm so happy my neighbors love this. It's my favorite Christmas 🎄 song. I tear up . Every time I hear it. It's My grown up Christmas list. For sure ❤.
Merry Christmas to all

12/16/19: Words FAIL me, to describe how touched I am by.........this!! Then finding out that the phenomenal David Foster composed it? No wonder........it's.........SUPERB!! He was the Maestro of the Soundtracks of the '80s!! Glad this one didn't make me cry like her other Christmas Song.
Good Evening 👸🏿 Yes David Foster , Does A lot Writing For Different Artist 😀 .
She is under appreciated for the "soulfulness" of her voice. She could very convincingly be an R & B singer.
I agree
An angel sings
Kelly has the most beautiful voice.
This version isn’t on Apple Music I could cry 😢
I bow to you 100 times!! BEST version!!
Still November..but the Christmas memories just fill my heart,so I play this lovely song...
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY?
that’s what i’m saying
It’s an annual frustration! 😩
ABC RELEASE THIS SONG! IT NEEDS TO BE STREAMING ON SPOTIFY!
The thing is David Foster wrote this song for Amy Grant unless David Foster didn’t want this on Spotify I’m not sure I think the only version u will get is Amy Grant’s version on Spotify
It’s 2021 and still this my ONLY life long list… this is my GROWN UP Christmas list..
2024 .... smh still my favorite Christmas Song .
