"Have yourself a merry little Christmas"
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.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough,
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is a song written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics.
