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
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
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
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
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Wendy and Carnie Wilson's song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is a joyful and hopeful tune that encourages the listener to embrace the spirit of the holiday season.

The second verse builds on this theme, encouraging the listener to make the Yuletide gay, emphasizing that the holiday is a time for celebration and enjoyment. The lyrics also bring back memories of olden days, happy and golden days of yore, when faithful friends would gather and spend time together. The singer reminds us that even though times may have changed, we can still make new memories with the people who are most important to us.

@Zana Zakkir she is objectively better than Rose, if you're talking about technique. Ranked according to professionals who study music and vocals. It's how the world works, some people will be better at one thing and worse at other thing, no shade, it's just the way it is.
