This is the story of Lili Marlene
2
Doo, doo, doo doo, doo
3
Would you like to hear the story
4
Of a girl that many soldiers know?
5
It's a tale of love in all its glory
6
They tell when the lights are soft an' low
7
Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
8
Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait
9
She waits for a boy who marched away
10
And though he's gone, she hears him say
11
"Oh promise you'll be true
12
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene
13
'Till I return to you
14
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene"
15
This is the story of Lili Marlene
16
With a kiss she gave her promise
17
To be constant as the stars above
18
Every soldier knows she's kept her promise
19
And she has been faithful to her love
20
Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
21
Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait
22
For this is the place a vow was made
23
And breezes sing her serenade
24
"Oh promise you'll be true
25
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene
26
'Till I return to you
27
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene"
28
This is the story of Lili Marlene
29
Though wee stems have an ending
30
No one knows just what the end will be
31
But tonight when twilight is descending
32
If you'll come along, here's what you'll see
33
Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
34
Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait
35
And as they go marching to the fray
36
The soldiers all salute and say
37
"We'll tell him you've been true
38
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene
39
'Till he returns to you
40
Fare thee well, Lili Marlene"
Marlene Dietrich - Lili Marleen
