LINGER

OOOO I WANT TO LINGER
OOO A LITTLE LONGER
OOO A LITTLE LONGER HERE WITH YOU
OOOO IT'S SUCH A PERFECT NIGHT
OO IT DOESN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT
OO THAT THIS SHOULD BE OUR LAST GOODBYE
OOOO AND COME DECEMBER
OOO I WILL REMEMBER
OOOO THE CAMPING DAYS AND FRIENDSHIPS TRUE
OOOO AND AS THE YEARS GO BY
OO I'LL THINK OF YOU AND SIGH
OO THIS IS GOODNIGHT AND NOT GOODBYE
OOOO I WANT TO LINGER
OOO A LITTLE LONGER
OOO A LITTLE LONGER HERE WITH YOU.

EACH CAMPFIRE LIGHTS ANEW, THE
FLAME OF FRIENDSHIP TRUE, THE JOY WE'VE
HAD IN KNOWING YOU, WILL LAST OUR
WHOLE LIFE THROUGH.
AND AS THE EMBERS FADE AWAY, WE WISH
THAT WE MIGHT EVER STAY, BUT SINCE WE
CANNOT HAVE OUR WAY, WE'LL COME AGAIN
SOME OTHER DAY.

CAMPSONG DONKEY RIDING

WERE YOU EVER IN QUEBEC, STOWING TIMBER ON THE DECK,
WHERE THERE'S A KING WITH A GOLDEN CROWN, RIDING ON A DONKEY.
CHORUS: HAY HO AND AWAY WE GO, DONKEY RIDING, DONKEY RIDING,
HAY HO AND AWAY WE GO, RIDING ON A DONKEY.
WERE YOU EVER OFF THE HORN, WHERE IT'S ALWAYS NICE AND WARM,
CHORUS.
WERE YOU EVER IN CARTER'S BAY, WHERE THE FOLKS ALL SHOUT HOORAY,
HERE COMES JOHNNY WITH THREE MONTHS PAY, RIDING ON A DONKEY,
CHORUS.

Song


We'll remember our CYO summer
Far away when the winter winds blow
We'll remember the friends that we made here
And the joys that we all came to know.

When the moon made a pathway of silver
And the lake stretched away far below
It was there in the stillness of evening
That the treasures of life can be known.

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.
