Goodnight Goodnight As the evening shadows fade into the night With each burning, glowing ember There are friendships to remember So let’s say One more goodnight Goodnight Don’t Laugh at Me I'm a little girl with glasses, the one they call a "geek" A little girl who never smiles cuz I got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep I'm that kid on every playground who’s always chosen last A single teenage mother tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend but is it too much to ask Don't laugh at me; don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain Deep inside we're all the same We all need hope and care and love Don't laugh at me I'm the beggar on the corner You’ve passed me on the street I wouldn't be out here begging if I had enough to eat And don't think I don't notice that our eyes never meet Don't laugh at me; don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain Deep inside we're all the same We all need hope and care and love I'm Fat. I'm Thin. I’m Short. I'm Tall. I'm Deaf. I'm Blind. Hey aren't we all? Don't laugh at me; don’t call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain Deep inside we're all the same We all need hope and care and love Don't laugh at me 2 Make New Friends Make new friends, But keep the old, One is silver, And the other gold. A circle's round, It has no end, That's how long I want to be your friend, You hold me, And I'll hold you, Then together, We will make it through. I have a hand, And you have another, Put them together, And we have each other. Sew good friends, Wherever you may roam, You'll be welcome, In my heart and home. A fire burns bright, It warms the heart, We've been friends Right from the very start. New made friends, Like new made wine Grow and mature, To the end of the time. Friends like you, Are one of a kind, Very special, And hard to find. Friends are real, And friends are true, If you love them, They will love you too. Cherish friendship, In your breast New is good, But old is best. Across the miles, Across the sea Friends forever, We will always be. 3 Linger Mmm, I want to linger Mmm, a little longer Mmm, a little longer here with you Mmm, its such a perfect night Mmm, it doesn't seem quite right Mmm, that this should be my last with you Mmm, and as the years go by Mmm, I'll think of you and sigh Mmm, This is good night and not good bye Mmm, I want to linger Mmm, a little longer Mmm, a little longer here with you Mmm, and come September Mmm, I will remember Mmm, our camping days and friendships true Mmm, I want to linger Mmm, a lttle longer Mmm, a little longer here with you Round the Glowing Campfire Round the glowing campfire We gather together We reminisce good times We all have shared We sing about friendship We sing about unity We sing about love between All of our sisters Hearts linked Throughout all of the years Kupugani's spirit Is heartened by campers true We love it as children of our summer home Our roots are planted And we’ll be growing With the love that’s bound together In our hearts forever throughout of our years As Years Go By As years go by we meet again We turn around and find a trusting friend Now that the summer’s in the air Sun and fun is everywhere Think of camp and she'll be there We have smiles We have tears We have memories of the years And the friends we have made Are the ones we’ll never trade Now that we are home at last We will remember summers of the past We show our love and trust in her Kupugani is our home We will never ever roam We have smiles we have tears We have memories of the years And the friends we have made Are the ones we’ll never trade 4 Dear Kupugani There’s so much we can say To thank you for the happiness You give us day by day You seem to take so little But then you give so much In the heart of every girl you leave your magic touch You spread
