The Campfire Song

The camp fire lights anew,
The flame of friendship true.
The joy we've had in knowing you,
Will last our whole lives through.

But as the embers fade away,
we wish that we might ever stay.
But since we can not have our way,
We'll meet again some other day.

(This was a song my mom taught me
around the campfire as a little girl.
We shared it with others at girls' camp.
It is usually sung slower than I
sang it on the C.D.. Bill and I decided to
speed it up a bit since my throat was soar
that day and I wasn't able to hold
out the notes very well)
