Lili Marlène |
| 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 Marleen |
| 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 Marleen |
| 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 Marleen |
| 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 Marleen |
| My Lili of the lamplight |
| My own Lili Marleen |
