Sing Along! Linger Longer, Mr. Moon and the Pinetree Song

Sunday night campfires at Illahee are a treasured tradition
Singing along…

Linger Longer

Mmm, I wanna linger here,
Mmm, a little longer here,
Mmm, a little longer here with you.
Mmm, it’s such a perfect night,
Mmm, it doesn’t seem quite right,
Mmm, that it should be my last with you.
Mmm, and in September,
Mmm, we will remember,
Mmm, our camping joys and friendships true,
Mmm, and as the years go by,
Mmm, we will look back and sigh,
Mmm, it was goodnight and not goodbye

Mr. Moon

Oh, Mr Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won’t you please shine down on me.
Oh, Mr Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon, hiding behind that tree.
Oh well I’d like to love you, but I gotta run,
‘Cause there’s a man behind me with a gatlin’ gun,
Oh Mr Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won’t you please shine down on,
Talk about your shinin’, won’t you please shine down on me,
Shine down on meeeeee!

The Pinetree Song (sung every night in a big circle at end of evening program)

All hail our own Pine Tree,
So stately and tall,
The symbol of Loyalty,
And friendship for all.
Like the Spirit of Illahee,
It always shall be,
Our joy and inspiration,
Our faithful pine Tree,
Our joy and inspiration,
Our faithful Pine Tree.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky,
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh,
And good night.
