Song

Um um, I want to linger, um um a little longer
Um um, a little longer here with you.

Um um, it's such a perfect night, um um somehow it can't be right
Um um, that it should be my last with you.

Um um, and come September, um um, we'll all remember
Um um, these camping days and friendships true.

Um um, and as the years go by, um um, we'll all look back and sigh
Um um, this is good-night and not good-bye.

 

Submitter comment:

This is a song sung at CYO Girls Camp, Carsonville, Michigan, at the good-bye ceremony on the last night at camp. They float candles in the creek and sing.
