Frank Poole / Richard Carpenter
Merry Christmas Darling is a most
beautiful song by Karen. I hope you enjoy the music
and the words.
Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have
one more 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
Christmas-ing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a
holiday
When I'm near to you
The
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 a Merry Christmas
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
