Lili Marlene Lyrics

Underneath the lantern

By the barracks gate

Darling, I remember the way

You used to wait

T'was there

That you whispered tenderly

That you love 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 caress you

And press you to my heart

And there neath that

Far off lantern light

I'd hold you tight

We'd kiss goodnight

My Lili of the lamplight

My own Lili Marlene

Orders came for sailing

Somewhere over there

All confined to barracks

Was more than I could bear

I knew you were

Waiting there for me

So patiently

When will I see

My Lili of the lamplight

My own Lili Marlene

Resting in a billet

Just behind the line

Even though we're parted

Your lips are close to mine

You wait where

The lantern softly gleams

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
