Lilly Marlene

(专辑： A Symphonic Night - 1996)

Underneath the lantern, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember, the way you used to wait
'T Was there that you whispered tenderly
That you'd love me, you'd always be
My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly 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 "goodnight"
My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly 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 Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene

Resting in a billet, just behind the line
Even though were parted, your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
Your sweet face seems, to haunt my dreams
My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene
My Lilly of the lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene
