Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing for a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
Let your emotions be buoyant and positive
From now on
Starting from this moment forward
Our troubles will be out of sight
Hoping that our difficulties will disappear
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
Encouraging celebration and joy during the Yule-tide season
From now on
Continuing the sentiment that troubles will be distant
Our troubles will be miles away
Expecting our problems to be far away
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on being together in times reminiscent of the past
Happy golden days of yore
Recalling happy and prosperous days gone by
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Expressing appreciation for loyal and cherished friends
Gather near to us once more
Inviting close friends to be near us once more
Through the years
Over the passing years
We all will be together
Anticipating being united with loved ones
If the fates allow
Contingent upon destiny allowing it
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Suggesting decorating and making Christmas bright
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Concluding the wish for a merry Christmas in the present
Oh
Interjection expressing emotion or emphasis
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting again on being together in times reminiscent of the past
Happy golden days of yore
Reiterating thoughts about joyous days gone by
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Reaffirming the importance of dear and loyal friends
Gather near to us once more
Requesting the presence of close friends once again
Through the years
Over the passing of time
We all will be together
Expressing the hope of being collectively together
If the fates allow
Conditional on destiny or circumstances allowing it
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Emphasizing the idea of brightening Christmas with a star
Oh, and have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas in the present moment
