Perry Como sings “Lili Marlene” on RCA Victor 20-2824br br Would you like to hear the storybr Of a girl that many soldiers know?br It's a tale of love in all its glorybr They tell when the lights are soft an' low.br br Underneath the lamp post by the barrack gates,br Standing all alone every night you'll see her wait.br She waits for a boy who marched away,br And though he's gone, she hears him saybr br "Oh promise you'll be true.br Fare thee well, Lili Marlene,br 'Till I return to you.
