Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Expressing a wish for a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a light-hearted and joyful attitude
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Anticipating that troubles will be forgotten during the holiday season
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a cheerful Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Encouraging a festive and lively Yuletide celebration
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Expecting that problems will be far away during this time
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the present time in a nostalgic manner
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic reference to happy days of the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Highlighting the importance of faithful and dear friends
Gather near to us once more
Expressing the desire for close friends to be near once again
Through the years we all will be together
Looking forward to spending future Christmases together
If the fates allow
Conditional statement, expressing hope for future togetherness
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
Suggesting the symbolic act of placing a star on a high bow as a festive tradition
cnd have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas in the present moment
Here we are as in olden days
Reiterating the nostalgic reflection on happy days
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic reference to joyful times from the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Emphasizing the value of faithful and dear friends once more
Gather near to us once more
Expressing the desire for close friends to gather near again
Through the years we all will be together
Repeating the sentiment of future togetherness over the years
If the fates allow
Conditional statement, expressing hope for continued togetherness
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
Suggesting the tradition of placing a shining star on the highest bow as a hopeful symbol
cnd have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas in the present moment
cnd have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas in the present moment
