[Chorus]
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

[Verse]
It was just last Christmas that we quarreled and you walked out
I knew I was wrong, but you would come back, I had not doubt
Now a year has rolled around, it's Christmas once again
And what I'd give if you'd come walking in

[Chorus]
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

[Chorus]
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be
What a merry Christmas this could be
