Generate meaning
1
Would you like to hear the story of a girl that many soldiers know
2
It's a tale of love and all its glory they tell when the lights are soft and low
3
Underneath the lamp post by the barrack's gate
4
Standing all alone every night you see her wait
5
She waits for the boy who marched away and though he's gone she hears him say
6
Oh promise you'll be true fare Thee well Lily Marlene till I'll return to you
7
Fare Thee well Lily Marlene
8
With the kiss she gave her promise to be constant as the stars up above
9
Every soldier knows she kept her promise and she has been faithful to her love
10
(Underneath the lamp post by the barrack's gate
11
Standing all alone every night you see her wait
12
For this is the place a vow was made and breezes sing her serenade)
13
Oh promise you'll be true fare Thee well Lily Marlene till I'll return to you
14
Fare Thee well Lily Marlene
15
Although each tale must have an ending no one knows just what the end will be
16
But tonight when twilight is descending if you'll come along here's what you'll see
17
Underneath the lamp post by the barrack's gate
18
Standing all alone every night you see her wait
19
And as they go marching to the prey the soldiers all salute and say
20
Well tell him you've been true fare Thee well Lily Marlene till he returns to you
21
Fare Thee well Lily Marlene
