Lili Marlene

In the style of

Vera Lynn

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
