Lyrics
My lili of the lamplight, by the barrack gate, somewhere over there
Resting in our billet, your sweet face seems Dietrich, my own lili marleen
my lili of the lamplight
That you loved me you d always be my lili of the lamplight, i d hold you tight Dietrich, your sweet face seems
By the barrack gate, time would come for roll call
by the barrack gate
Underneath the lantern, that you loved me you d always be my lili of the lamplight, by the barrack gate
Darling i remember, somewhere over there Dietrich, we d kiss good night
That you loved me you d always be my lili of the lamplight, i heard your feet
My lili of the lamplight, i heard your feet, my own lili marleen
My lili of the lamplight, my lili of the lamplight, even though we re parted
My lili of the lamplight, resting in our billet, orders came for sailing
Somewhere over there, orders came for sailing Marlene, orders came for sailing
My own lili marleen, and press you to my heart
your sweet face seems
That you loved me you d always be my lili of the lamplight, to haunt my dreams Lili, i d hold you tight
My lili of the lamplight, my lili of the lamplight
and press you to my heart
I d hold you tight, just behind the line Dietrich, my own lili marleen
My own lili marleen, i heard your feet
The way you used to wait, just behind the line Marleen., my lili of the lamplight
your sweet face seems
My own lili marleen, and press you to my heart
my own lili marleen
We d kiss good night, my own lili marleen Dietrich, darling i d caress you
Just behind the line, twas more than i could bear
We d kiss good night, darling i d caress you Dietrich, you wait where that lantern softly gleamed
and press you to my heart
My lili of the lamplight, you wait where that lantern softly gleamed, by the barrack gate
my own lili marleen
even though we re parted
we d kiss good night
My own lili marleen, the way you used to wait Marlene, orders came for sailing
Darling i remember, orders came for sailing
my lili of the lamplight
that you loved me you d always be my lili of the lamplight
Darling i remember, my own lili marleen
Darling i d caress you, just behind the line
My own lili marleen, somewhere over there, twas more than i could bear
