I don’t know if you are familiar with the show “Meet me in Saint Louis”. A family is planning to move from Saint Louis to New York and no one is happy about going. I don’t think I am spoiling the ending by saying that they figure out a way to stay.
However, when you realize the song is sung by a big sister to a crying little sister then the original lyrics are really sad.
Anyway, I thought you might be interested.

I lifted it from sully's
I lifted it from sully's page. He did not appear to give proper notice of authorship, it might be in the public domain. So, I now feel like sharing as well!
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last,
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, pop that champagne cork,
Next year we will all be living in New York.
No good times like the olden days, happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us no more.
But at least we all will be together, if the Fates allow,
From now on we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now."
It really is a better version. Yet, we would be happy in either St. Louis or NYC. Otherwise we would muddle through somehow.
