Lili Marlene

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