Green Trees
(source: "Celebrate With Song", Girl Guides of Canada, 1995.)

This appears to be another good example of a song whose lyrics vary greatly depending on where you learn it. Neither of the versions of the song shown on this page are the same as the print source listed above.

Thanks very much to Tammie, who e-mailed me this song!

Green trees around us, blue skies above

Friends all around us, in a world filled with love

Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true

As we all say, goodnight to you.

Cathy Rafa sent me a second version of this song, shown below.

Green trees around us, bright stars above,

Friends all around us, singing songs filled with love,

Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true.

Camp______ sings good night to you (or Girl Guides/Scouts sing good night to you)

Good night, good night,

As the evening shadows creep into the night

With each living burning ember

There is a friendship to remember as we sing... (slip into singing "Taps")
