lili marlene

outside the barracks by the corner light

darling i remember how i'd wait for you at night

there we'd create a world for two

i'd wait for you

the whole night through

was there that you'd whisper tenderly

that you loved me

you'd always be

be my lili marlene

be my lili marlene

i'd give you a rose to show i care

and wind it through your golden hair

then we would say goodnight and part

i'll always keep you in my heart

with me lili marlene

with me lili marlene

my lili of the lamplight

my own lili marlene
