[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
Cal made a long table for his bride, June
D#
When the first child was born and they needed more room
C# G# D# G#
Cal was one of four sons, there was too little farm
C# G# D#
And the railroad had work, so they move into town
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
First came Emmet and Clara, William and Grace
D#
Around the long table, they all took their place
C# G# D# G#
Every year they would gather, sing carols and hymns
C# G# D#
With canned peaches and shortcake and four wide grins
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G C# G#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
Fm D#/G C# D#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
C# G# D# G#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
C# G# D# G# C# G# C#
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
Eating strawberry jam from our Victory Garden
D#
June kept giving Emmet more food than he wanted
C# G# D# G#
As if she could fill him with enough food and faith
C# G# D#
To last him through Europe and bring him home safe
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
Clara moved back at Christmas with her two children
D#
When her husband ran off with a girl who was willing
C# G# D# G#
When Grace's small daughter offered up her shortcake
C# G# D#
Clara leaned on Will's shoulder and covered her face
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G C# G#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
Fm D#/G C# D#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
C# G# D# G#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
C# G# D# G# C# G# C#
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
Long ago Emmet came home, now he carves the ham
D#
Though since then he's needed a leg brace to stand
C# G# D# G#
He and Grace visit often, help mom with yard work
C# G# D#
Who still can't believe what they are wearing to church
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
Cousin Ann's in Chicago and she stays good friends
D#
With cousin Will, who's a painter, lives in South Bend
C# G# D# G#
And William's boy, Michael, is a young handsome rogue
C# G# D#
Cruising town with an eight track of Abby Road
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G C# G#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
Fm D#/G C# D#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
C# G# D# G#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
C# G# D# G# C# G# C#
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
There's been so many joys, so many cradles
D#
But there was one who spent only one year at the table
C# G# D# G#
It must have been grandma who gathered her close
C# G# D#
So she'd have no fear when they both passed across
[Verse]
G# C# G# C#
So put out the canned peaches in honour of June
D#
And for Michael's grown daughter, who's coming home soon
C# G# D# G#
For all that we've lost or we haven't found yet
C# G# D#
All who come to the table and clasp hands around
[Chorus]
Fm D#/G C# G#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
Fm D#/G C# D#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
C# G# D# G#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
C# G# D# G# C# G# C#
All is calm and all is bright
G# D# G# C# G# C# G#
All is calm and all is bright
