Lyrics

Song
Underneath the lamplight, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember it’s there you used to wait
There that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, You'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene

Time has come for roll call, Time for us to part
Darling I'll caress you and press you to my heart
There where that lantern softy be
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene

Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
All confined to barracks is 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.

Spoken Word
The light that I have, is all that I have is the light that I have is yours, The love that I have of the life that I have is yours, and yours and yours..The sleep that I shall have, the rest I shall have. The death will be a cause. The peace of our years in the long green grass will be yours and yours and yours.
Song
Resting in the billet, just behind the line
Even tho'we're parted, your lips are close to mine
There in that far off lantern light I’d hold you tight. We’d kiss good night
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene

Underneath the lamplight, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember it’s there you used to wait
There that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, You'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
