Songtext von Lilly Marlene

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'd love me, you'd always be, My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly 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 "goodnight" My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly 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 Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene Resting in a billet, just behind the line Even though were parted, your lips are close to mine You wait where that lantern softly gleams Your sweet face seems, to haunt my dreams My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene.
