There were tears in the crowded congregation |
|
There were hearts that have loved but all in vain |
|
'Twas goodbye to the sweetheart of the nation |
|
At the wedding of Lili Marlene |
|
Men who'd marched where the desert sands were burning |
|
From Tobruc down the road to Alamein |
|
In their hearts were tender memories were returning |
|
At the wedding of Lili Marlene |
|
As she knelt where the candle lights were gleaming |
|
It seemed the choir sang soft and low |
|
Farewell, my angel of the lamplight |
|
We'll always love you so |
|
Down the aisle came the bride in all her glory |
|
To the strains of her own sweet love refrain |
|
'Twas the end of a very lovely story |
|
At the wedding of Lili Marlene |
|
Farewell, my angel of the lamplight |
|
We'll always love you so |
|
Down the aisle came the bride in all her glory |
|
To the strains of her own sweet love refrain |
|
'Twas the end of a very lovely story |
|
At the wedding of Lili Marlene |
