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 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 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" was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, and made famous by Judy Garland in the 1944 film "Meet Me in St. Louis." I love its message about friendship lasting through the years despite separations of time and distance, and the image of the star-as-beacon on the tree.
