Lili Marlene Lyrics

Lili Marlene lyrics

Underneath the lantern
By the barrack gate
Darling I remember
The way
you used to wait
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved
me
You'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili
Marlene

Time would come for roll call
Time for us to part
Darling
I'd caress you
And press you to my heart
And there neath that far off
lantern light
I'd hold you tight
We'd kiss good night
My Lili of the
lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Orders came for sailing
Somewhere
over there
All confined to barracks
'Twas more than I could bear
I
knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet
But could not
meet
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Resting in our
billet
Just behind the line
Even though we're parted
Your lips are
close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleamed
Your sweet face
seems
To haunt my dreams
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili
Marlene
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene.
