Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight, mm
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away
And here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
And faithful friends who are dear to us
Will they gather near to us once more?
Oh, hoo
And through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
But ’til then we’ll have to muddle through some hell
And have yourself a merry little Christmas
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will they gather near to us once more?
And through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
But ’til then we’ll have to muddle through some hell, no
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Na na na na na na
Ay, yay
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will they gather near to us once more?
No, and through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
But ’til then we’ll have to muddle through some hell, no
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
