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.
