Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Embracing Joy: A Merry Little Christmas Journey
Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing for a joyous Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a light-hearted, joyful attitude
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Hopeful that future difficulties will fade away
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiteration of the wish for a merry Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Inviting a cheerful and festive Christmas celebration
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Anticipating a future free from troubles
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the present time as reminiscent of old days
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic reference to happy times of the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Expressing gratitude for close and loyal friends
Gather near to us once more
Requesting the presence of cherished friends
Through the years we all will be together
Hope for future gatherings and togetherness
If the fates allow
Contingent upon fate, expressing a wish for unity
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Symbolic gesture of hope and celebration
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Re-emphasizing the wish for a merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Repetition of the initial wish for a joyous Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a lighthearted, joyful attitude (repeated)
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Hopeful that future difficulties will fade away (repeated)
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiteration of the wish for a merry Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Inviting a cheerful and festive Christmas celebration (repeated)
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Anticipating a future free from troubles (repeated)
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the present time as reminiscent of old days (repeated)
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgic reference to happy times of the past (repeated)
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Expressing gratitude for close and loyal friends (repeated)
Gather near to us once more
Requesting the presence of cherished friends (repeated)
Through the years we all will be together
Hope for future gatherings and togetherness (repeated)
If the fates allow
Contingent upon fate, expressing a wish for unity (repeated)
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Symbolic gesture of hope and celebration (repeated)
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Final emphasis on wishing a merry Christmas
