Merry Christmas, Darling
(Lyrics: Frank Pooler, Music: Richard Carpenter)

Greeting cards have all been sent.
The Christmas rush is through.
But I still have one wish to make,
A special one for you.

Merry Christmas, darling.
We're apart, that's true -
But I can dream,
And in my dreams,
I'm Christmasing with you.

Holidays are joyful.
There's always something new -
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you.

There are lights on my tree
I wish you could see.
I wish it every day.
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas,
(Merry Christmas, darling)
Happy New Year, too!
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve -
I wish I were with you.

The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas,
(Merry Christmas, darling)
Happy New Year, too!
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve -
I wish I were with you.
I wish I were with you.

(Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas, darling
