The Lyric "Through the Years, We all will be Together," comes from "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" comes from the season 5 Episode "Ebenezer Morloch" and is performed by Debbie Allen.






Have yourself a merry little Christmas, 
Let your heart be light
Next Year all 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.

Oh, Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
