Frank Pooler / Richard Carpenter

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
This 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

The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day

Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you 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
