Come place a log around the fire
A sign of Friendship true
Then you may sit and talk with me
And I shall talk to you

The years have flown since last we sat
Beside a campfire bright
But I have longed to talk to you
As we shall talk tonight

I have not traveled far in miles
But with my questing eyes
I’ve found unbounded beauty waits
Beneath these spacious skies

I’ve learned to see with open mind
The grandeur near at hand
And all that nature gives to us
I’ve tried to understand

I do not long for distant shores
But just to have the time
To roam about these mountain woods
And make them really mine

I’ll place more wood upon the fire
To keep our campsite bright
For I am glad that you, my friend
Are here with me tonight
