Written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane for the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis, where Judy Garland sang it, it became a holiday standard.
The words
A wish that this Christmas may be bright, with troubles set aside and friends gathered close again.
The singer comforts someone, hoping the coming holiday brings relief from the year's worries and a return of old friends. Beneath its warmth lies a quiet sadness: the good times are hoped for rather than promised. The song moves slowly and tenderly, a lullaby more than a celebration. Dylan croons it gently over a soft, old-fashioned band arrangement, sounding both tender and weathered.
