Thread Name: Lyr ADD: I Want to Linger (camp song)^^^
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: camp song: oh, I want to linger...
this is the way we used to sing it around the camp fire at camp sugar pine in the calif sierras in the early 60's....the tradition was that altho we 'practiced' it during the camp session, we never officially SANG it til our last night at camp....(usually with tears in our eyes)


mm-mm i want to linger
mm-mm a little longer
mm-mm a little longer here with you...

mm-mm it's such a perfect night
mm-mm it doesn't seem quite right
mm-mm this is my very last with you....

mm-mm and as the years got by
mm-mm we'll all sit back and sigh
mm-mm this was good night and not goodbye....
