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
May ev'ry day be Christmas and every day be blessed
Let the end of every day be filled with happiness
And may the Lord be good to you with every rising sun
All through the day have a smile for everyone
At night time comes a longing to be with ones you love
To sit around the fireside and dream of stars above
And may God bless you and keep you come what may
Then every day will be a happy day
Huge thanks to Lincoln Adler for always making space for music and fun and for his wonderfully wide range of talent; Sean Allen for his uplifting musical skills, friendship, and being the sweetest; and to J, my music-droppin' i'a for having track 2 swim into my life.
Hope you enjoy this short collection of Christmas wishes and that it brings a little bit of hope, light and joy to you this holiday season.
