Merry Christmas Baby (feat. Michael McDonald) - India.Arie

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 Yule-tide 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 On the highest bough And have yourself A merry little Christmas now

Old December's here at last, a time for celebration Christmas present, Christmas past Tumble down together like the snow, what a show Now the snowman someone made is melting by the road side On the wind, a serenade Children's voices singing, I believe, I believe in us, I believe On Christmas morning, you awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms, we watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me and I realize how sweet our love can be All the memories coming back again each year on Christmas morning Sentimental melodies surround me like an old friend She spent the winter here with me Silently we watched the seasons change And they change so fast and fade away On Christmas morning, you awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms, we watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me and I realize how sweet our love can be All the memories coming back again, take me back in time On Christmas morning, you awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms, we watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me and I realize how sweet our love can be All the memories coming back again in time Oh, Christmas morning Oh, Christmas morning Oh, Christmas morning

God rest you merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh, tidings of comfort and joy In Bethlehem in Jewry This blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh, tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father A blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

You let flowers say, "I love you" You let diamonds hold my hand So this Christmas, I'm making new plans (Merry Christmas baby) You send gifts that someone else picks You send cards with empty promises But you don't need to worry 'bout me again (Merry Christmas baby) You'll wake up all alone and Wonder why I'm not home And I'll let my phone ring A dose of your kind of love and I'll let my absence show you What I got you for Christmas Is losing me Merry Christmas, baby You can have just what you gave me You can keep the charming lines And you can keep your wandering hands And eyes (Merry Christmas baby) You'll wake up all alone and Wonder why I'm not home And I'll let my phone ring (I'll let it ring) A dose of your kind of love and I'll let my absence show you What I got you for Christmas Is losing me Merry Christmas, baby So have yourself a merry Christmas Hope it's not as cold as you (cold as you) Merry Christmas, baby (Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas, baby (Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas, baby To you
