Camp Song, Girl Scouts
This song is used to say goodbye on
the last night of camp.
I want to linger
A little Longer
A little longer here with you.
It doesn't seem quite right
That this is our last night
That this is our last night with you.
And come September
And We'll remember
our camping days and friendship true.
And as the years go by,
I'll think of you and sigh.
This is goodnight and not goodbye.
