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 your troubles will be out of sight
Assuring that future difficulties will be forgotten
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a merry Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Adding the traditional festive and cheerful aspect
From now on your troubles will be miles away
Reassuring that troubles will be distant in the future
Here we are as in olden days
Evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past
Happy golden days of yore
Recalling happy and golden 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 a desire for friends to be close once again
Through the years we all will be together
Looking forward to being together in the future
If the fates allow
Expressing hope for a future where everyone is united
Hang a shining star upon the highest place
Symbolizing hope with a shining star in a prominent place
So have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Finalizing the wish for a merry Christmas
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Concluding the expression of good wishes for the holiday
