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 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. When we are marching in the mud and cold, And when my pack seems more than I can hold, My love for you renews my might, I'm warm again, my pack is light, It's you Lili Marlene, It's you Lili Marlene
