Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing someone to enjoy a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a carefree and happy attitude
From now on
Expressing a shift to a positive outlook
Our troubles will be out of sight, mmm
Anticipating that problems will be resolved or forgotten
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
Let the Yuletide gay
Encouraging a festive and cheerful Christmas season
From now on
Continuing the theme of overcoming difficulties
Our troubles will be miles away
Expecting troubles to be far away in the future
Here we are as in olden days
Describing the current situation reminiscent of the past
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgia for happy days gone by
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Emphasizing the importance of close and loyal friends
Gather near to us once more
Welcoming the reunion of dear friends
Through the years
Reflecting on the passage of time
We all will be together
Expressing hope for togetherness in the future
If the fates allow
Conditionally looking forward to a united future
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, oh
Symbolizing hope with a shining star
And have yourself a merry little Christmas
Repeating the wish for a joyful Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the desire for a merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Concluding the wish for a happy Christmas now
Merry, merry Christmas now (merry Christmas)
Extending a direct wish for a merry Christmas
A merry, merry Christmas now, now
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas now, now, now, oh
Further repeating the wish with emphasis
Yeah
Adding an enthusiastic affirmation
