Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters is featured in A Very Glee Christmas, the tenth episode of Season Two. It is featured on the Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album and is sung by Rachel.
Originally, Rachel was only going sing it to Finn as a Christmas present, but because he rejected the gift, it made Rachel sing the song alone with back-up vocals from the band players. With help from the A.V. Club, she organized Christmas trees on the stage and falling snow for decorations. During the song, Rachel walks past the lockers where she sees Sam and Quinn kissing under a mistletoe and also Santana and Finn decorating the Glee Club Christmas tree.
LYRICS:
Rachel:
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 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 (New Directions: Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh)
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas (New Directions: Merry Christmas darling)
Happy New Year, too (New Directions: Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh)
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve (New Directions: On this Christmas Eve)
I wish I were with you (New Directions: Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh) (Ooohhh, ooohhh uh-uh)
Oh, logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas (New Directions: Merry Christmas darling)
Happy New Year, too (New Directions: Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh)
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve (New Directions: On this Christmas Eve)
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
