Lyrics
( This is the story of Lili Marlene Doo, doo, doo doo, doo! ) Would you like to hear the story Of a girl that many soldiers know? It's a tale of love in all it's glory They tell when the lights are soft an' low! Underneath the lamp post by the brigades Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait She waits for a boy who marched away And though he's gone, she hears him say: "Oh promise you'll be true Fare thee well Lili Marlene 'till I return to you Fare thee well Lili Marlene! " ( This is the story of Lili Marlene! ) With a kiss she gave her promise To be constant as the stars above Every soldier knows she's kept her promise And she has been faithful to her love! ( Underneath the lamp post by the brigade Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait For this is the place a vow was made And breezes sing her serenade . . . ) "Oh promise you'll be true Fare thee well Lili Marlene 'till I return to you Fare thee well Lili Marlene, " ( This is the story of Lili Marlene! Though wee stems have an ending No one knows just what the end will be But tonight when twilight is descending If you'll come along, here's what you'll see . . . ) Underneath the lamp post by the brigade Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait And as they go marching to the fray The soldiers all salute and say: We'll tell him you've been true Fare thee well Lili Marlene 'till he returns to you Fare thee well . . Lili Marlene!
