Vera Lynn - There'll Always Be An England

Lili Marlene

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.
