Campfires of Heaven
I’m dreaming of a day before my old pals went away.
I wonder where they are.
Within my fancy, I can see their campfires in the sky
In every silver star.
The world’s at rest, the stars are shining their best
Like glowing campfires of heaven.
When all is still, I picture Buffalo Bill
Beside his campfire in heaven,
Calling to his buddies, “Come over for a spell.”
Then I hear the songs and the stories that they tell
Of that distant day when each one wandered away
To build his campfire in heaven
Among the campfires of heaven.
