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      It was just last Christmas   That we quarreled and you walked out   I knew I was wrong   But you'd come back   I had no doubt   Now a year has rolled around   It's Christmas once again   And what I'd give if you'd come walkin' in      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   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
