Lili Marlene

Lili Marlene - Anne Shelton/Bob Hope

Written by：Ralph Butler

Underneath the lantern

By the barrack gate

Darling

I remember

The way you used to wait

Was there that you whispered

Tenderly

That you loved me

You'd always be

My sister'sof

The lamplight

My own

Sister's Marlene

Orders came for sailing

Somewhere over there

All confined to barracks

Was more than I could bear

I knew you were waiting

In the street

I heard your feet

But could not meet

My sister'sof

The lamplight

My own

Sister's Marlene

Resting in our billet

Just behind the line

Even tho' we're parted

Your lips

Are close to mine

You wait

Where that lantern

Softly gleams

Your sweet face seems

To haunt my dreams

My sister'sof

The lamplight

My own

Sister's Marlene
