Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
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
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Diana Krall's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is a beautiful and heartwarming song that captures the essence of the holiday season. The song invites the listener to let go of their worries and concerns and simply indulge in the spirit of Christmas. The first two lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer reassures the listener that everything is going to be alright and encourages them to enjoy the festive season without any worry about the future. The words "Let your heart be light" suggest that the singer wants the listener to be happy and enjoy the moment.
The second and third verses of the song emphasize the importance of spending time with loved ones. The lyrics mention "Happy golden days of yore" and "Faithful friends who are dear to us", which are all things that evoke fond memories from the past. The reference to "Yuletide" is a throwback to old-fashioned Christmas traditions, which emphasizes the importance of family gatherings and laughter.
The final verses reiterate the message of togetherness, with the singer expressing hope that "through the years we all will be together if the fates allow". The line "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough" serves as a metaphorical reminder to hold on to hope and to never give up on the possibility of good things happening.
