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