I'm from Japan and I've been listening to this beautiful and sacred song since I was a little child. Today is the Christmas day of 2023. I hope that everyone in the world will be able to live in peace.
Unfortunately, one of the greatest female voices on the planet is no longer with us. R.I.P. Natalie Cole. In this year, where many singers have died, Natalie gets forgotten about on a lot of retrospectives, and more attention is paid to Bowie, Prince etc. I always remember Nat's performances on "Christmas In Vienna". Powerful stuff, and an underrated talent. Now, she can see her father again.
A song that David Foster gave to us. What a gift of true love for our world and all that is in it! Natalie Cole was a delicate gifted musician using her voice so well.
This is the best (and original) version of this beautiful Christmas (carol) song. Natalie Cole's rendition of this lovely song was simply beautiful. David Foster was great playing the piano and providing background vocal (2nd voice) to this No.1 favourite Christmas song of mine for all time. 😉
@@Jinaria101 Amy Grant recorded it a couple of years later on her Christmas album, but Natalie Cole was the original singer circa 1990. Amy Grant also added a lyric to the song for an updated writing credit on the song for the 1992 version. Another great cover is Kelly Clarkson's version. But I think this is the best and original.
This song should be the anthem for the entire world...regardless of season. The lyrics are so spot on..and Natalie and David do such a bang up job. Thanks for the post!!!Kudos to All!!
What a lovely voice Natalie had, free of all the yodelling embellishment and croaky noises so many singers today like to indulge in. Her singing was pure, straight, and pretty.
I know Natalie had her demons to deal with, but she NEVER surrendered that talent, straight from the Creator! Natalie was the very definition of an artist who could interpret a song...a lyric and make us feel the things we were to inhibited to feel, emotions that we tucked away, and love we were too shy to let go. This song, especially required a sensitivity and simplicity from a pure talent. She bared her soul and let us in...a privilege that fortunately will live on through her recordings. Kudos to you David Foster for not only writing a beautiful, classic song but having the foresight to let one of the world's great talents sing it for us. God bless you Natalie!
Amy Grant and Kelly Clarkson offer acceptable renditions of this song. However, you stated it beautifully in how Natalie's trials and tribulations in her life only adds to the emotional impact of hearing this song. This intimate performance recorded live only reinforces the honesty of your words.
@@manuelorozco7760 In 1989 this duet with Stephen Foster who composed the song was televised. In 1990 Natalie released the song as a single. Amy Grant's version was released in 1992. I think the duet version is still the best.
This song always makes me cry but even more now that our country is in such and peril and division anger boiling over hatred spewing forth from people our country is divided and I'm frightened the lyrics to this song are pertinent right now
This is the original version of this song and its so beautiful... I remember when it came out in 1989 Christmas season and it stuck with me ever since. The arrangement is perfect and Natalie’s voice is full of emotion. Everytime i hear this version i can’t help but listen to it carefully.
Would love to go back in time when when life was simple and Xmas ment a lot to people. I guess I'm old stock and still believe in old time growing up. Simple time but best time.
"The message in the lyrics of this song is relevant, cathartic, hopeful, and inspirational, addressing issues such as the wars in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and homelessness in the U.S."
By far, the best performance of this song, which I have loved for several years now, and consider a Holiday/Christmas classic! Thanks, David and Natalie!
I don't hear this version on the radio anymore. Natalie Cole is the original and best version. Thank you Natalie and David Foster for a wonderful deep moving Christmas Song. The other song I don't hear anymore these days is "Here is Christmas" from the Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart). That is my 2nd favorite.
Heartfelt!.....Made my cry. so appropriate for the times that we're living in, just look at what we're going through right now. I agree 100% with Bobbie 1957. It's definitely the second best Christmas song of all time. There's no question about, the Christmas song by her father is #1. In my opinion The four most beautiful Christmas songs are: (1) The Christmas song by Nat King Cole. (2) Grown up Christmas list by Natalie Cole. (3) Someday at Christmas by Stevie Wonder. (4) White Christmas by Bing Crosby. Let's hope that someday that all of these wishes on this list will be granted. Maybe it won't be in our lifetime ----But maybe, someday Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!!
Have you heard the song, "Old City Bar" by the Trans Siberian Orchestra? It's not only my favorite Christmas song, it's my favorite song of all time. You should check it out.
I'm thinking that Natalie is singing this wondrous tune with her father Nat in Heaven this Christmas 2021. Thanks, Natalie Cole and David Foster! A Hopeful and Love-filled Christmas 2021 to one and all -- in Heaven AND on Earth! Remember in prayer those who lost loved ones and their homes during the horrific tornadoes of December 10, 2021 and a few days later. God in Christ, provide all of them with a true Heavenly miracle.
>>Hey guys........if you like "My Grown Up Christmas List" Mariah Carey's ex boyfriend Luis Miguel does the BEST verson of this song EVER. Just look up on youtube the following...... Luis Miguel Mi Humilde Oracion.... You won't be sorry :)
This beautiful Christmas song carries a message that will live on forever. The wish above everything else in a troubled world today .is that elusive Peace on Earth. 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.
She performed this Classic with the London Symphony Orchestra 🎤🎹🎻🎶🎵 Ms. Natalie 🙏🏾 you are truly missed and you and your Son are eternally together 🙏🏾 Gone too soon! 🕊️
What a beautiful song! Clearly not new, but I've kind of discovered it for real this year and have listened to it a hundred times or so it seems. Lovely.
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
TYVM Ms NATALIE, FOR A VERY BEAUTYFUL CHRISTMAS SONG, WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS, ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC !!!!!!!
Still my second Christmas song in all my 57 years of life my first one and ironically to me beats out this one by one point is her father Nat King Cole signing the Christmas Song. God bless and Merry Christmas I enjoy this song every year.
David Foster has so many great songs he is like the Mozart of our time. If you look up all the songs he's composed including this one you may be surprised. He's the man playing that piano by the way, also he is the current husband of Yolanda Foster from Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo.
This song brings tears to my eyes! The message is so heartfelt. The melody is beautiful. David Foster is a creative genius, and Natalie Cole is a remarkable talent! I also recommend: The Spirit Of Christmas by John Starley Allen (new version) If you're like me, your eyes will tear up....
This song and version will always be one of my top three Christmas songs, with ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Mary Did you Know’. Bless you in Heaven Natalie, singing forever with your daddy.♥️🎶♥️🎄 Merry Christmas 2017 everyone🕊 Pray for Peace ☮️
I’m here today listening to this song and I am truly moved.each and every year during the holidays that we all need to hear it and live it. Awesome song.
Bach here again it's 12/1/2022 and Natalie sings this amazing Christmas song so beautiful she puts me in the Christmas mood every time I hear her voice .love this..
I miss you Natalie, and I know you're missed the world over. What a simple, beautiful and emotional interpretation of this wonderful song. Kudos David Foster! Another masterpiece in a long line of great music. This one is and will remain a Christmas classic. I know you're singing for the Creator right now...

Oh man...David Foster was so young, so gorgeous....Natalie was as talented as her father.
RIP Natalie.
RIP Natalie, yes... 😞†
Indeed, so true! David wrote this with his then wife, Linda Thompson. Both of them were gorgeous and magnificently talented ❤.
David's still living and Natalie was not only beautiful but, extremely talented. She's in heaven now happily with her father Nat King Cole.❤
A lot of people have re-recorded this song but Natalie Cole sings it the best.
Agree 110% One of my go-to Christmas songs, along with John Lennon's War is Over
I think this is the original since she's singing it with the original songwriter, David Foster.
I agree completely, Natalie Cole sings it best
Natalie is the first singer of this song, and I love this simple arrangement, but Monica’s version is my absolute favorite Christmas song.
Absolutely agree!!
I'm from Japan and I've been listening to this beautiful and sacred song since I was a little child. Today is the Christmas day of 2023. I hope that everyone in the world will be able to live in peace.
GOD BLESS YOU... JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH... MERRY CHRISTMAS 2024... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Me too. I agree with you!❤
David Foster couldn't have picked a better artist to do this song with. May her soul rest in peace.
+Spectacular66 He's a pig!
Totally disrespectful.....he choose the BEST artist for the song.
@@marvincameron1719 you just called OP disrespectful but said the exact same thing they said
David Foster can write a damn good tune I tell you 👍
His😊ex wife, Elvis girlfriend wrote the lyrics
@@morrismims5327The beautiful Linda Thompson
My favorite Christmas song ever ❤
MISS YOU QUEEN NATALIE COLE 😥😥 THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SONGSTRESS FOR THE WONDERFUL ORIGINAL TRACK OF THIS CLASSIC SONG THAT I LOVE THE MOST 👏👏🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️
It's 2021 and I'm still listening to this song, every year, without fail. Thank you Nat, and may your soul forever rest in peace.
Brava Natalie❤
2023
It's 2023, and I'm hearing it for the first time. Brought tears to my eyes😢😢
Christmas 2024 ✝️🎄✝️

I want that hair style. Straight up 80.s classy. She's always the best.

Me too....this song and the Lords Prayer by Sheena Easton grab my heart every time
One hell of a beautiful song Natalie really sung this song David Foster did his thing on the Ivory. A song to forever remember
I jump here bcoz Mr David reposted this song where he was playing the piano and asked his follower on his IG to sing with him. ❤dec 8,23

"The message in the lyrics of this song is relevant, cathartic, hopeful, and inspirational, addressing issues such as the wars in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and homelessness in the U.S."
I rather hear message songs over the generic pop music we get today
This is MY Christmas song! Natalie was taken from us too soon. Now she's singing for the angels and her beloved daddy. sniff sniff :(

THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS WONDERFUL SONG BY THE LEGENDARY NATALIE COLE 🤗🤗❤️❤️ THANK YOU QUEEN 😃😃😍

Beautifully sung Natalie. You bring this quiet song to life. This is the only version worth listening to. Amazing.
Why not Amy Grant or Kelly Clarkson’s takes
心が温かくなります。
By far, the best performance of this song, which I have loved for several years now, and consider a Holiday/Christmas classic! Thanks, David and Natalie!
David Frost wrote and produce this song amazingly beautiful.
This song is so appropriate now with the wars going on we need this song now this Christmas ❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏🏼🙏🏼

What a beautilull woman, what a wonderfull emotional voice, what a perfect harmonic together with David Foster - so christmassy. 🙂🎄

viaburgos no ... beautiful
Music should be listened to anytime your heart desires. Merry Christmas 2017?🎄
No, it’s not because I’m listening in May of 2021
this one is best, hands down, great job
Natalie- thank you for your beautiful music with that beautiful voice! There will never be another Natalie Cole! We'll miss you!
Effortless with clear voice. Love u miss Cole. Really touched my heart.
The best rendition of this song and my favorite Christmas song
What a beautiful song! Clearly not new, but I've kind of discovered it for real this year and have listened to it a hundred times or so it seems. Lovely.
This is the best version of this song with David Foster and Natalie Cole singing together.
How can anyone NOT love this beautiful song. Wow it blows my mind.
I think this is the finest contemporary Christmas song. Sung beautifully by Natalie and some other ladies.
Natalie Cole does this song better than any other artist I've heard
Just priceless 😊
A song that stays in you in the whole Christmas season
Rip Natalie a singer with a powerful voice
After the heart breaking events of today, I certainly need a grown up Christmas list. This is so beautiful.
I remember this song as a teen. This Christmas song really suited her voice, just like her father when he sang The Christmas Song.
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
TYVM Ms NATALIE, FOR A VERY BEAUTYFUL CHRISTMAS SONG, WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS, ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC !!!!!!!

This is the best version where David Foster sings with Natalie Cole (compared with the Christmas Album and River of Love's Album)
This song and version will always be one of my top three Christmas songs, with ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Mary Did you Know’. Bless you in Heaven Natalie, singing forever with your daddy.♥️🎶♥️🎄
Merry Christmas 2017 everyone🕊
