Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, your troubles will be out of sight, yeah
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, your troubles will be miles away, ooh
Here we are as in olden days
Faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Ooh, and have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
But 'til then we'll have to muddle through somehow
Oh, yeah, ooh, oh
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Ooh, yeah, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, ooh
