- Pickin' Flowers in the Rain
- (Words and music written by Megan Anderson)
Thanks very much to Mary Thomas, who sent me the solution
to this song mystery!
Chorus:
- Pickin' flowers in the rain and laughin' with the sun.
- Tryin' to teach 'em how to live by themselves and still
get things done.
- Gonna be a counslor at a summer camp, gonna find out
what it's about.
- Little eyes are gonna look up at you, little hands will
reach out.
-
The days are long, and the nights are short, and the pay
is so small.
- And you never really know if what you say sinks in at
all.
Build a fire, dig a trench, sharpen axe with a whetstone
- And maybe next time when you're not here, they can do
it on their own.
Sometimes things don't work out right, and we think we are
flops.
- But they look at us and they smile at us and they ask
us not to stop.
When it's all over and it's time to leave, you sit and think
- What parts of you did they take along, what parts of
them did they leave?
So that's why I'm here at this summer camp, and I hope that
you feel the same way.
- There's lots to get, but there's more to give, and I
hope that you're here to stay.
