Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Embrace Joy and Renewed Hope with Whitney Houston's Holiday Melody
Lyrics
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Wishing someone to experience a joyful Christmas
Let your heart be light
Encouraging a light-hearted and happy attitude
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight, my Lord
Expressing hope that troubles will be forgotten or resolved with the help of a higher power ("my Lord")
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the wish for a joyful Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Suggesting to make the Christmas season festive and joyful
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Believing that troubles will be far away in the future
Here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the present as similar to the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgia for the happy and golden days of the past
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Appreciating loyal and cherished friends
Gather near to us once more
Expressing the desire for friends to be close once again
Through the years we all will be together
Anticipating being together with loved ones in the coming years
If the fates allow
Conditional expression, hoping to be together if fate permits
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Suggesting to symbolize hope with a shining star on a Christmas tree
And have yourself a merry little Christmas right now
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas, emphasizing the present moment
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, have yourself a merry Christmas now
Repeating the earlier wishes for a merry and joyful Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Reiterating the desire for a festive and trouble-free Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Encouraging a festive and gay Yuletide atmosphere
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Believing that troubles will be distant in the future
Ooh, here we are as in olden days
Reflecting on the present with nostalgia for the past
Happy golden days of yore
Nostalgia for the happy and golden days
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Appreciating loyal and dear friends
Gather near to us once more
Expressing the desire for close gatherings with friends once more
Through the years we all will be together
Anticipating being together with loved ones in the coming years
If the fates allow
Conditional expression, hoping to be together if fate allows
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, ooh, oh
Suggesting to symbolize hope with a shining star on a Christmas tree
And have yourself, let your heart be light, ooh
Reiterating the wish for a light-hearted and joyful heart
Have yourself, put your troubles out of sight, ooh
Encouraging to put troubles out of sight for a joyful Christmas
Just have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Emphasizing the present moment for a merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Repeating the wishes for a merry and joyful Christmas
Have yourself a merry Christmas, a merry merry Christmas
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas with emphasis
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, merry, merry, merry, merry, merry, merry, ooh
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas with emphasis and joy
Have yourself a merry Christmas, merry little Christmas
Reiterating the desire for a festive and joyful Christmas
Have your self, have yourself, a merry little Christmas
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas with emphasis
Have your self, have yourself, a merry Christmas now
Repeating the wish for a merry Christmas with emphasis and immediacy
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Concluding with the wish for a merry and joyful Christmas
