(Carpenters cover) A timeless Christmas song from the Carpenters. A bit melancholic, but also hopeful at the same time (like me).
Story behind the song
Since I seem to do fairly well with the Carpenter songs, this one seemed to be a no-brainer to record. Again, this is using a purchased backing track that includes vocal harmonies, so my part is just the lead vocal. Using techniques I've already learned, I've also been doing a little experimenting with more recording processes. Enjoy (and Happy Holidays to you and yours).

Lyrics
MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING
====================
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
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
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
Merry Christmas, darling
