Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Embracing Joy: A Journey Through Christmas Cheer
Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing for a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a light-hearted and happy spirit
From now on
Looking forward from this moment
Our troubles will be out of sight
Expressing hope that difficulties will disappear
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Suggesting a festive and cheerful Yuletide celebration
From now on
Continuing the anticipation of troubles fading away
Our troubles will be miles away
Expecting that problems will be distant
Here we are as in olden days
Describing the current moment reminiscent of old times
Happy golden days of yore
Reflecting on past joyful and golden days
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Mentioning loyal and cherished friends
Gather near to us once more
Calling friends to gather together once again
Through the years
Looking ahead through the passing years
We all will be together
Expressing a wish for togetherness in the future
If the fates allow
Conditional expression about the future
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Suggesting to decorate with a bright star
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Reiterating the desire for a joyful Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Recalling the atmosphere of bygone days
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgia for happy and golden days
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Calling dear friends to be close again
Gather near to us once more
Inviting loved ones to gather once more
Through the years
Emphasizing the passage of time
We all will be together
Expressing the hope for future togetherness
If the fates allow
Conditional expression regarding fate
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Suggesting to adorn the highest bough with a bright star
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas in the present
