Lyrics
Have yourself
Expressing a wish for the listener to experience a joyful Christmas
A merry little Christmas
Encouraging a small, delightful Christmas celebration
Let your heart be light
Suggesting a carefree and happy attitude for the holiday season
From now on
Referring to a positive change starting from this moment
Our troubles
Anticipating a relief from difficulties or challenges
Will be out of sight
Assuring that problems will no longer be visible or troubling
Have yourself
Reiteration of the wish for a joyful and small-scale Christmas
A merry little Christmas
Encouraging a festive and lively Christmas celebration
Make the Yule-tide gay
Suggesting making the holiday season cheerful and full of merriment
From now on
Repeating the idea of a positive change and improved circumstances
Our troubles
Reaffirming the expectation of troubles being distant and resolved
Will be miles away
Emphasizing the distance from difficulties, creating a sense of relief
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the current situation reminiscent of the past
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgically recalling happy and prosperous days of old
Faithful friends
Acknowledging loyal and cherished friends
Who are dear to us
Expressing the desire for close friends to reunite
Gather near to us once more
Welcoming the return of dear friends
Through the years
Looking ahead to the future
We all will be together
Expressing the hope for continued togetherness
If the Fates allow
Conditionally expressing the desire for being together if circumstances permit
Hang a shining star
Suggesting the symbolic act of placing a bright star on a tree
Upon the highest bough
Emphasizing the desire for a festive and decorated environment
And have yourself
Reiterating the wish for a joyful and modest Christmas celebration
A merry little Christmas now
Concluding with a final wish for a merry Christmas
