Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing for you to experience a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
May your emotions be uplifted
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Expectation that troubles will fade away from this moment forward
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiteration of the wish for a happy Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Encouragement to celebrate the festive season
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Hope that our difficulties will be distant in the future
Here we are as in olden days
Reflection on being together as in times gone by
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic reference to joyful times in the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Acknowledgment of cherished and loyal companions
Gather near to us once more
Request for close friends to be near once again
Through the years we all will be together
Recognition that in the passing years, we will all reunite
If the fates allow
Contingent on the circumstances permitting
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Symbolic suggestion to adorn a tree with a bright star
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Final wish for a joyful Christmas in the present moment
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiteration of the wish for a merry Christmas
Let your heart be light
May your emotions remain buoyant
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Continuation of the hope for troubles to disappear
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiteration of the wish for a happy Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Encouragement for a joyous Yuletide celebration
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Continued hope for distance from troubles in the future
Here we are as in olden days
Reference to being together as in nostalgic times
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic mention of joyous days in the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Acknowledgment of cherished and loyal companions
Gather near to us once more
Request for close friends to gather near again
Through the years we all will be together
Anticipation of future reunions in the passing years
If the fates allow
Subject to the possibility allowed by fate
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Symbolic suggestion to adorn a tree with a bright star
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Final wish for a joyful Christmas in the present moment
