MY MIDNIGHT PRISON
(Marvin J Moore / Bernie Wayne)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Donn Trenner & his Orchestra
1963 Los Angeles


My midnight prison,
That's where I go each night,
Right back to prison
When I turn out my light.

That carefree kiss we had was shared,
Is there to see
In my midnight prison 
Of memory!

My midnight prison,
Bound by the chains of love,
A fool still clinging
To what remains of love!

I tried to break away,
But how can I go free
From my midnight prison
Of memory?

My windows have a big iron bar
For every lie I've heard from you.
No matter where I go at night,
I still come right back to -

My midnight prison;
Unlock the door someday,
For when you left me,
You threw the key away!

Oh please come back, please bring your love,
And set me free,
From my midnight prison
Of memory,
From my midnight prison
Of memory!
