Lili Marlene

Lili Marlene - Terri Stevens/Leroy Holmes

Would you like to hear the story

Of a girl that many soldiers know

It's a tale of love in all it's glory

They tell when the lights are soft an' low

Underneath the lamp post by the barricades

Standing all alone every night

You'll see her wait

She waits for a boy who marched away

And though he's gone she hears him say

Oh promise you'll be true

Fare thee well Lili Marlene

Underneath the lamp post by the barricades

Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait

For this is the place a vow was made

And breezes sing her serenade

Oh promise you'll be true

Fare thee well Lili Marlene

And as they go marching to the fray

The soldiers all salute and say

We'll tell him you've been true

Fare thee well Lili Marlene
