[Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
bringing joy that will last]

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 [bad word] 
From now on our troubles will be far away 

Once again 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 

Once again 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
