Karaoké Lili Marlene Vera Lynn

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
