Flicker
(source: "Celebrate With Song", Girl Guides of Canada, 1995; also in "Songs For All Sorts", Anglia Girl Guides, 1990.)

The flicker of a campfire, the wind in the pines

The moon in the heavens, the stars that shine

A place where people gather to make friends of all kinds

A place where all our troubles are always left behind

So give me the light of a campfire, warm and bright

And give me some friends to sing with; I'll be here all night

Love is for those who find it; I found mine right here

Just you and me and the campfire and songs we love to hear

Thanks very much to Micki Pagan, who e-mailed this third verse to me!

So let the campfire flicker long into the night,

And let the dreams we cherish remain in sight.

Love is for those who find it, I've found mine right here.

Just you and me and the campfire and songs we like to hear.
