(From the film Meet Me In St. Louis)
(Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane 1943)

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 were 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
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now...
