Muss I Denn/Wooden Heart?

Ah Ernie, I suspect you're correct:
Lili Marlene? (Try singing this :
Hinter der Kaserne,
vor dem großen Tor
steht eine Laterne,
und steht sie noch davor.
Da wollen wir uns wiedersehn,
bei der Laterne woll’n wir stehn,
wie einst, Lili Marleen, wie einst, Lili Marleen)
Just doesn't flow as smoothly in the original German as it does in the English.
