So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough (highest bough)
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now

(Merry little Christmas now, ooh)
