Lili Marlene lyrics

Artist  : Vera Lynn 
Song : Lili Marlene
 


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.
