Merry Christmas
J.H Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 Yule-tide gay,
From now on our troubles
Will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore,
Faithful, 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
On the highest bough,
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore,
Faithful, faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more

And through the years
We all will be together
If the fates, if the fates allow,
Hang a shining star on the highest bough,
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now





Ooo ooo ohohoh don't y'all wait no, have now
