0:11Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
0:15Darling I remember the way you used to wait
0:21Was there that you whispered tenderly
0:26That you loved me
0:28You'd always be
0:31My Lili of the lamplight
0:36My own Lili Marlene
0:42Time would come for roll call
0:45Time for us to part
0:47Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
0:52There 'neath that far off lantern light
0:57I'd hold you tight
1:00We'd kiss good-night
1:03My Lili of the lamplight
1:07My own Lili Marlene
1:13Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
1:19All confined to barracks was more than I could bear
1:23I knew you were waiting in the street
1:29I heard your feet
1:31But could not meet
1:34My Lili of the lamplight
1:39My own Lili Marlene
1:45Resting in a billet just behind the line
1:50Even tho' we're parted your lips are close to mine
1:55You wait where that lantern softly gleams
2:00Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams
2:05My Lili of the lamplight
2:10My own Lili Marlene
2:15My Lili of the lamplight
2:21My own Lili Marlene
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 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 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 was 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 a 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 Lili of the lamplight My own Lili Marlene My Lili of the lamplight My own Lili Marlene
