Lily Marleen

Under the lantern, in front of my base
I know you’re waiting for me, my sweet love, oh yeah
And your heart, as it whispers
Under the streetlight, it’s beating strong
Lily, my sweet love
It’s you, Lily Marleen

When the orders come and I have to go
Not knowing, darling, if I’ll make it back home
I know you’ll always wait so true
Under the streetlight, in front of the base
Lily, my light of faith
It’s you, Lily Marleen

If I find myself at the front, far away! From you
I hear your footsteps coming close to me
And I know you’re waiting there for me
By the streetlight, shining bright
Lily, my sweet love
It’s you, Lily Marleen
