"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is a Christmas song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview, Martin said that Blane had encouraged him to write it but had not had anything more to do with doing so. In 2007, ASCAP ranked it the third most performed Christmas song written by ASCAP members of the past five years.
Lyrics
- 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 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
