Lyrics
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

(Instrumental)

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
