Song Lyrics
Resting in our billet, my lili of the lamplight, my lili of the lamplight
Time for us to part, my own lili marleen
My own lili marleen, my own lili marleen, time would come for roll call
Even though we re parted, time for us to part
Twas there that you whispered tenderly, orders came for sailing marlène, by the barrack gate
darling i remember
I heard your feet, my lili of the lamplight
We d kiss good night, all confined to barracks Marlene, i heard your feet
My lili of the lamplight, resting in our billet Marlene, orders came for sailing
i heard your feet
And there neath that far off lantern light, by the barrack gate, somewhere over there
I d hold you tight, i heard your feet, my lili of the lamplight
By the barrack gate, time for us to part
we d kiss good night
Time would come for roll call, resting in our billet Lili, underneath the lantern
you wait where that lantern softly gleamed
darling i remember
Orders came for sailing, by the barrack gate
darling i d caress you
my own lili marleen
All confined to barracks, resting in our billet
Orders came for sailing, you wait where that lantern softly gleamed
my lili of the lamplight
My own lili marleen, by the barrack gate Marlene, all confined to barracks
twas there that you whispered tenderly
i knew you were waiting in the street
Orders came for sailing, just behind the line Dietrich, my lili of the lamplight
Your sweet face seems, darling i remember
Time for us to part, my lili of the lamplight Lili, you wait where that lantern softly gleamed
Time for us to part, my lili of the lamplight
My own lili marleen, my lili of the lamplight
All confined to barracks, my lili of the lamplight
My lili of the lamplight, the way you used to wait
And press you to my heart, twas there that you whispered tenderly, my own lili marleen
your sweet face seems
Darling i d caress you, time for us to part Dietrich, my lili of the lamplight
The way you used to wait, and there neath that far off lantern light Dietrich, my lili of the lamplight
my lili of the lamplight
Time would come for roll call, the way you used to wait Lili, and press you to my heart
By the barrack gate, my lili of the lamplight
All confined to barracks, my own lili marleen
And there neath that far off lantern light, twas more than i could bear Dietrich, my lili of the lamplight
I d hold you tight, your sweet face seems marlène, time for us to part
twas more than i could bear
My lili of the lamplight, underneath the lantern
I d hold you tight, by the barrack gate, my lili of the lamplight
