Midnight Pie

10 o'clock in the morning
I'm waiting for my homemade pie
Standing here in the kitchen
But he didn't even say goodbye
So I'm waiting and waiting
But he's gone, gone away
My sweet baby used to make me
My favorite apple pie each day

Well she waited so long
And decided to take out her mama's recipe book
And she said "you know what?" "What?"

"I'm going to make my own damn pie" "Aha!"
And by this time it was about midnight
You know the stars were shining and Berlin was sleeping
And she, she couldn't wait until the morning
And you know it's never too late to bake the

Midnight pie
Oh the midnight pie
Don't know why
Yeah the midnight pie
Because it's just so good

Sweet and delicious, those apples taste
Better than his kisses
Warm is the oven, so is my heart
This pie for one will taste so sweet and tart
So I'm baking and creating this pie for me alone
He's just missing what I'm making
No pie for him if he comes home
Oh the

Midnight pie
Yeah the midnight pie
Don't know why
Oh the midnight pie
Because it's just so good

Oh the midnight pie
Yeah the midnight pie
Don't know why
Oh the midnight pie
Because it's just so good

So we cut the apples and put them in a pan
And we simmer them nice and low
And then we add a little honey and some cinnamon
And we stir them sweet and low
And now Lila, how do we make the crust?
You know that homemade pie crust is just a must

Mix the flower and the water and the butter and an egg
Don't forget the pinch of salt and it's ready for the pan
Kneed that dough and let him go
Stick it in the oven and soon you'll get that

Midnight pie
Oh the midnight pie
Don't know why
Yeah the midnight pie
Because it's just so good
