Lyrics

Greet ing cards have all been sent,

the Christ mas rush is through,

but I still have one wish to make,

a spe cial one for you;

mer ry Christ mas, dar ling.

there’s We’re a part that’s true;

but I can dream and in my dreams,

I’m Christ mas ing with you.

Hol i days are joy ful,

there’s al ways some thing new.

But ev ’ry day’s a hol i day

I’m Christ mas ing with you.

when I’m near to you.

The lights on my tree I wish you could see,

I wish it ev ’ry day.

The logs on the fire

fill me with de sire

to see you and to say

that I wish you mer ry Christ mas,

hap py New Year too.

I’ve just one wish on this Christ mas Eve;

I wish I were with you.

I wish I were with you.
