The Song
"Merry Christmas, Darling" is a Christmas song by the Carpenters (music by Richard Carpenter, lyrics by Frank Pooler), and originally recorded in 1970.
Original version
The song was first available on a 7-inch single that year (A&M Records 1236), and was later re-issued in 1974 as a B-side to “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” (A&M 1648) and again in 1977 as the B-side to “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” (A&M 1991). The single went to number one on Billboard's Christmas singles chart in 1970 (and did so again in 1971 and 1973) and peaked at number 41 on Cashbox.
Richard Carpenter himself calls the original recording one of his sister's very best.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

[Verse 1]
Merry Christmas, darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you

[Verse 2]
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day is a holiday
When I'm near to you

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
That I wish you merry Christmas (Merry Christmas, darling)
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve (On this Christmas Eve)
I wish I were with you

[Pre-Chorus]
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

[Chorus]
That I wish you merry Christmas (Merry Christmas, darling)
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve (On this Christmas Eve)
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you

[Outro]
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, darling
