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