WHAT A MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS COULD BE
(Hank Cochran / Harlan Howard)

Willie Nelson - 1965
George Strait - 1986


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
