Marlene Dietrich

Outside the barracks by the corner light
I ll always stand and wait for you at night
We will create a world for two
I ll wait for you the whole night through
For you, Lili Marleen
For you, Lili Marleen

Bugler tonight, don t play the Call To Arms
I want another evening with her charms
Then we will say goodbye and part
I ll always keep you in my heart
With me, Lili Marleen
With me, Lili Marleen

Give me a rose to show how much you care
Tied to the stem, a lock of golden hair
Surely tomorrow you ll feel blue
But then will come a love that s new
For you, Lili Marleen
For you, Lili Marleen

When we are marching in the mud and cold
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I m warm again, my pack is light
It s you, Lili Marleen
It s you, Lili Marleen

My love for you renews my might
I m warm again, my pack is light
It s you, Lili Marleen
It s you, Lili Marleen
