Miss Helena - Underneath The Lantern
00
Copied!
July 1938
Remember how I used to wait
Underneath the lantern
Down on Baker’s street
Were we used to dance
And dream
All of the secrets we’d keep
When we first met
Under the summer sun
I wore flowers in my hair
And I saw you standing there
It’s a small town
But you and me
Were bigger than the world
January 1943
When you promised to marry me
Underneath the lantern
Down on Baker’s street
Wе let go of all concerns
And fears
And I lovеd you so
I’m still wearing the ring you gave me
And I can still smell your clothes
Everything that could have been
The white dress still hangs in the closet
Untouched
But the orders came
June 1945
Remember when we said goodbye
Underneath the lantern
Down on Baker’s street
Your last kiss is
One to build a dream on
Until we meet again
No matter where you are
Every night we look upon the same stars
And I know I will forever be yours
Underneath the lantern
Down on Baker’s street
I’ll wait for you
Like I used to do
Your
Lili Marleen
