Lili Marleen (Lily Of The Lamplight) (Norbert Schultze / Tommie Connor / Arr.: Ko-Do 2008)

Underneath the lantern By the barrack gate Darling I remember The way you used to wait T'was there that you whispered tenderly That you loved me You'd always be My Lily of the Lamplight My own Lily 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 Lily of the Lamplight My own Lily Marlene

Orders came for sailing Somewhere over there All confined to barracks was more than I could bear I knew you were waiting in the street I heard your feet But could not meet My Lily of the Lamplight my own Lily Marlene Resting in our billets Just behind the lines Even tho' we're parted Your lips are close to mine You wait where that lantern softly gleams Your sweet face seems To haunt my dreams My Lily of the Lamplight My own Lily Marlene
