Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that may last

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
May your heart be light
In a year, our troubles will be out of sight
From now on

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
In a year, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Precious friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

I know that
In a year, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we′ll just have to muddle through somehow, yeah

Have ourselves a merry little Christmas now

'Cause everybody knows
