Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is passed
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last
[Verse 2]
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
[Verse 3]
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
[Verse 4]
Through the years, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang your shining star above the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
[Verse 5]
(Here we are, as in olden days)
(Happy golden days of yore)
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
[Verse 6]
Through the years, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang your shining star above the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
