Campfire Songs


Come Come Light Up the Fire
Come Come Light Up the Fire
Come come join in the ring.
Here find friends to inspire
Stories to tell
Music to sing

(continue singing over and over until fire is lit)

Camp Daisy Hindman
Way down in the valley there’s a place I’m dreaming of.
One with blazing campfires and the bright stars up above.
There’s old friends and new friends.
And home where the trail ends.
These I’ll remember and always will love.
Soon the time will come when I’ll be going home again.
But the memories of these days will never, ever end.
Oh, Camp Daisy Hindman
I’ll always remember
My camping days with you.

Daylight Taps
Thanks we praise, for our days.
Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky.
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Each Campfire Lights Anew
Each campfire lights anew, the flame of friendship true.
The joy of having known you, will last my whole life through.
And as the embers die away, we wish that we could ever stay.
But since we cannot have our way, we'll come again some other day.
And as we now part, I'll hold you in my heart.
Until we meet again, God keep you safe my friend.

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire,
The wind it the pines,
The stars in the heavens
The moon that shines
A place where people gather, make friends of all kinds.
A place where all men’s troubles are always left behind.

So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
Give me some friends to sing with,
I’ll be here all night.
Love’s for those that find it,
I found mine right here.
Just you and me and the campfire and the songs we love to hear.
Da da da da da da.  Da da da.  Da da da da da.  Da da da. 
Da da da da da da da da da.  Da da da da da da. 
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
Give me some friends to sing with,
I’ll be here all night.
Love’s for those that find it,
I found mine right here.
Just you and me and the campfire and the songs we love to hear.
Da da da da da da.  Da da da.  Da da da da da.  Da da da. 
Da da da da da da da da da.  Da da da da da da. 
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da. 
(Fade to end)

Green Trees
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 good night to you.

Light The Wood
LIght the wood, the campfire burns.  We are all gathered round.
Now the flames are leaping high, lighting up the evening sky.

Rise Up O Flame
Rise up o flame, by thy light glowing.
Show to us beauty, vision and joy

Taps
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lakes
From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh.
