| Lyrics: | There were tears in the crowded congregation,
There were hearts that have loved but all in
vain,
T'was 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,
T'was 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,
T'was the end of a very lovely
story,
At the wedding of Lili Marlene. |
