"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
Music by Hugh Martin (1914-2011); arr. Stacey V. Gibbs (b. 1962)
Text by Ralph Blane (1914-1995) and Stacey V. Gibbs


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
Once again, as in olden days
Happy days of yore
There we’ll find faithful friends who are dear to us
Who gather near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
Oh, have yourself a merry little Christmas now




We wish you happiness all season long
As we send you glad tidings in this special song.
May your heart be filled with laughter
And cheer and love the whole year long.
